This is a fairly good good strong lager, carries its high ABV well. Good head, pleasant aroma, powerful flavour. Beats Carlsberg's Elephant beer. But a ROYAL selection?? Oh well, I've never been a monarchist anyway...

380 ml green plastic bottle, in Denmark. Typical average Danish industrial pale lager, but this one allegedly has no adjuncts. Drinkable. There’s really not much more to add.

Not bad, but Carlsberg Sort Guld is a better alternative in this ABV category of Danish golden lagers. Very popular in the "duty free" trade. Rerate bottle: Good head, acceptable flavour, not outstanding.

380 ml green plastic bottle, in Denmark. ABV was 4.8%. Amber colour. Vienna style (more or less). Flavour has some malts and hints of caramel. Decent but not very interesting.

(33 cl bottle, in Denmark.) Good head, beautiful dark brown colour, pleasant aroma, flavour and aftertaste are dominated by an overwhelming sweetness. Too sweet for me.

Over-priced pale Mexican beer with a silly lime-slice gimmick to attract stock-broker wannabes and other idiots. No reason to stick with this one. Pass.

Yes, like many others I had this while on holiday in Greece... and found it quite acceptable. Probably the best(??) Greek pale lager. However, I don't feel any need to have it imported to Norway.....

375 ml corked bottle (champagne style). Enormous thick head, red colour, aroma is cherries (no surprise!) and red wine vinegar. Flavour is not nearly as sweet as Lindemans Kriek, quite dry really. Light bodied, but lots of cherries of course. Refreshing. Initially a little peppery bite. Moderately acidic.

(500 ml bottle). Dark ruby colour. Good light tan head. Interesting vinous aroma of raisins, blackberries, ensilage, seaweed and some coffee. Full, rich and smooth flavour - but unfortunately too sweet. Like a good cup of coffee with too much sugar. Syrup battles with a nice roastiness in the aftertaste. Still, an interesting Latvian aquaintance - well worth sampling.

(Draught at Helsinki Airport). Golden colour, low head. Dangerously drinkable strong lager. Fruity and slightly perfumed aroma. While strong pale or golden lagers are not my favourite "style" in general, this one was not too bad.
