Copenhagen 4/10 2022. 33 cl chubby bottle from Føtex, Husum Torv, Husum. Red version of Poppel’s usual label design with a little London double decker.
Pours unclear amber with a mid-sized fluffy, off-white head. Stable. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, toasted and malty odor mingling with a light fruity, tart scent. Toasted malts, toffee and citrus.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste sweetish and pleasant. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.
Pleasant and pretty harmless Amber Lager.

Pours a clear amber with fine head.
Smell is light, bready and a bit floral. Notes of crackers and some citrus with a strange, mineral hint.
Taste is bready and a bit sweet. Moderate bitterness and notes of brown bread, rye and some citrus. Some mineral and yeasty hints in the background. A bit muddled.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, a decent lager, not nearly crisp and clean enough.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Clear amber colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Slightly citric mouthfeel. Flavour of malts and caramel again, not too sweet, a hint of roastiness. Not bad, but not particularly exciting either.

I seem to be the first to review...yay.
From Sweden...and called London Lager...interesting. I know little about Swedish beer, but lots about London "lager"...which is usually European or Australian...not English. So I defined this for this website as a "London Pale Ale".
Looks dark like a London bitter, not like a lager. As it's marketed as a lager, I shall take this into account.
Aroma of primarily sweet toffee. I am fairly sure this is not a lager ; )
Unfortunately because I chilled this in my fridge as though it was a lager as advertised...it tastes terrible. It should be room temperature as it's a bitter (a room with heating or between 10 and 20 centigrade), not a lager. When cold, it really tastes horrible.
So yes, this is the worst lager that I ever tried. It's not even close. And it's definitely not a London Pale Ale either ; )
