  • Amstel Light
    rated 1.9 19 years ago

    Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

    Well, if the ordinary Amstel isn't bland enough for you... God bless! There's really not much to say in favour of this brew - but a glass of it IS drinkable if you have to drive afterwards.

  • Amstel Lager
    rated 2.7 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    An average lager. Very average! I think it was better the first times I tried it, many years ago (pre-Heineken), but then, my taste may have changed. After they bought the Amstel brewery, Heineken seem to have decided that Amstel should be their "Number 2" brand, in respect of both quantity and quality.

  • Tuborg Guld (Tuborg Premium Lager)
    rated 3.0 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    The pale lager internationally simply known as 'Tuborg' is in Denmark known as Tuborg Grøn ('Green'), referring to the colour of the bottle and label, not the colour of the beer! ABV there is 4.6%. Sure, when on summer vacation in Denmark and you're thirsty ...., well, a Tuborg is part of it. But this beer is really not more than average, traditionally "competing" with the standard Carlsberg Pilsener/Lager.

  • Tuborg Kylle Kylle
    rated 3.5 19 years ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Tuborg Påskebryg 'Kylle Kylle' is an "Easter brew", a bit darker than a standard pale lager, may probably be classified as a Vienna. But seriously: What the hell IS an 'EASTER brew' supposed to taste like?? Or is that a theological question? Anyway, this isn't a bad try. And the Easter chicken (and possibly the chicks) might like it.

  • Tuborg Lys Grøn
    rated 1.8 19 years ago

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

    This low ABV pale lager (known in Denmark as Tuborg Lys Grøn) is now retired. ABV was 2.6%. Carlsberg Let Pilsner is retired too, they have been replaced by Carlsberg Light. My comment was: Typical light / low alcohol pale beer. Are you sure you have to drive today?

  • Tuborg FF (Fine Festival)
    rated 2.7 19 years ago

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

    This is an unsophisticated Euro strong lager with ABV 7.5%. Weak head, golden colour, alcoholic flavour with barely enough maltiness and very moderate hops. Average at the best.

  • Tuborg Julebryg (Christmas Brew)
    rated 2.8 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    (0,5 liter dark blue plastic bottle.) Brownish golden colour, moderate head. Aroma and flavour like an average pilsener with liquorice added - and that's what it actually is (the label states that liquorice is an ingredient). Compared to the best Norwegian 'klasse F' Christmas beers, this is BAD (well, it's drinkable, but not much more).

  • Tuborg Gold Premium Lager
    rated 3.1 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    Known as Tuborg Guld in Denmark. Has a duplicate entry at BeerPal as "Tuborg International Gold Label". This is a quite acceptable medium-strong lager, but nothing extraordinary.

  • Carlsberg Special Brew
    rated 2.5 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    This beer seems to be made with no other purpose than producing as much alcohol as possible, and still call it a lager. Stick to Elephant Beer instead - the Elephant is strong enough. The Special Brew is nothing to search out.

  • Carlsberg Sort Guld
    rated 3.2 19 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

    Rerate can: I overrated this beer grossly the first time. This is not much more than an average strong pale lager. Original rating, bottle at the Carlsberg Brewery guest room in Copenhagen: Probably the best medium-strong lager I've had. Lots of taste. Well done Carlsberg!
