Copenhagen 1/1 2021. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Circular patterns in blue, red, orange and yellow. Looks a bit like floor tiles.

Pours unclear pale yellow with a mid-sized white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, malty odor mingling with strong citrus notes. Sweet, pale malts. Citric and grass. Medium carbonation. Thin, watery, lively and tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a bit. Finish is dry and a bit acerbic.

Solid bitter and citric Pilsener.

Blind-tasted. Bought from Bacchanalia, Mill Road, Cambridge.
L- Straw colour, slightly hazy with a 3Cm white head. Lively rising CO2 too. Holds up well.
S- Very mild, so mild in fact I can't clearly ID the one very minor note I can smell.
T- Has more to it than the smell suggests! Some good bright hopping right on the front that sustains on the palate. Some gentle malts rise up to bring balance, Hops seem more Pilsener-dry in style than anything more contemporary/fruity/alt. weirdy.
F- Glancing at the front of the can lable I notice it says 'Pilsner 5.1%' at the front/top, makes sense now. It fits that style well. It certainly is notably 'dry-hoppy' and that's the Pilsner style. It's nice the malts rise on the palate to bring balance. It's not like a Pils-dry just with a lack of malt balance, as (IMO) occurs in say Pilsner Urquell.
O- I like it, though at £3.20/440ml can I should hope so too. I'd happily drink it again if given one, though doubtful I'd pay to buy it again. I'd thought the beer's name 'Doses' rather weird and perhaps crass. [Do you?]
Only now do I get it, Doses of Pils, hehe...
