A 400ml bottle with a BB of June 2018. ABV is stated as 5.2%. Acquired a while back from a webshop. The label is in Danish but I can make out that it's supposed to be a pilsner-style beer.
A: Poured into a tulip. Bottle conditioned. A deep marmalade-orange hue with faint floating sediment and intense carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a persistent surface layer. Slight lacing.
S: Aroma of light, grainy malt with hints of earthy yeast, faint barley sugar, subtle noble hops, vague leafyness and a twinge of stewed husks in the background. Clean, balanced and understated.
T: Tastes of grainy malt with notes of mild barley sugar, earthy yeast, subtle noble hops, faint grass/hay and a touch of stewed husks. Quite dry, followed by a crisp, delicate bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and good body. Lightly astringent. Aftertaste of grainy malt, earthy yeast and faint leafy hops.
O: A pretty decent lager with a clean profile. Looks good, though surprisingly dark. Aroma and flavour are grainy and earthy with delicate hop character. Nice body for the style. Drinkable and refreshing - would be good on a hot day. Worth sampling.

400ml on-tap at Mama Ludbas restaurant, Copenhagen (44 Danish Krone):
A basic & fairly average pale lager overall here, this one was drinkable but fairly light overall for the most part. There was some nice malts & a little sweetness in short bursts throughout but not much else grabbed my attention & it seemed too much like a regular macro lager for my liking; I can't imagine it's one I'll go for again to be honest.

The colour is yellow with a tint of gold (6 EBC), the liquid is clear. The three finger head is off-white and compact; it leaves thick lacing on the glass while sinking down.
The smell is sweet with bitter-fruity notes of grapefruit, orange peel, green bananas and a touch of wine gums. Highly balanced.
The taste is highly balanced, too: Sweet clean malts with a touch of caramel, grapefruit hops, smooth bitterness and hints of oranges and peach candy. Light to medium body. The aftertaste brings some alcohol, citric peels, biscuits and lemons. Balance? Yes. Lingering bitter-fruity notes in the finish.
The carbonation is strong (like a lager carbonation is supposed to be), the small long-lived bubbles are fresh. The liquid is semi-smooth.
I had this beer back in 2006 and gave it a raving 4,42 review. 10 years later, it is still a great interpretation of the modern pale lager.
