An all rounder to me, the benchmark when it comes to tasting beer, if you worse than Mr. Carl here, you are done for. Though I am not so sure if the taste and the texture of the beer differ among countries, at least for my country, I can see why this is one of the top runners of its price bracket.

Perfectly drinkable stuff, was expecting some off-flavors based on other reviews. Pretty looking pour with a solid big white cap that recedes slowly. Aroma is a bit grainy. Flavor is really nice, slightly sweet malty. My only real complaint here is the mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery.

On tap at the Copenhagen Airport in the Aviator/Carlsberg Lounge near the A gates and Mikkeller bar. Beer often tastes better when it’s free and that’s the case here. Just a light, easy drinking Euro pale lager. Slightly sweet, a bit dry in the finish, goes well with food.

From notes.
Pours golden, large white head with decent lacing . The smell is mild grassiness and malt with a funk in there. The taste follows the smell, added mild bitterness and astringent quality that all pull together well. The mouthfeel is surprisingly full bodied for a 3.8% beer.
I was expecting much less it it's refreshing, well balanced, well flavoured, nice crisp lager.

1000 ml can acclimated to 40°F and poured into a pilsner glass.
Pours a clear, dark gold with a foamy 2 finger white head with light lacing.
Initial aroma is crisp and somewhat bready. A hint of hops is present, with a vague corn syrup aroma. After agitating the smell becomes cleaner.
Initial taste before swallowing is bitter with notes of sweetness and bread, slightly watery. After swallowing I pick up more bitterness which lasts into the aftertaste. Honestly just tastes like lager.
Mouthfeel is fine, goes down nice but doesn't really do anything interesting.
Probably won't buy again honestly but nice to drink the well known Danish beer on the national day of Denmark.
