From the 16 oz can. Clear golden, nice white head, thick ring and thin layer with
nice lacing. Nose of lager funk and honey sweet malt with faint herbal notes from
hops. Flavors follow but with subtle pilsner elements among a more aggressive
bittering hop. Light body, medium light carbonation, smooth, crisp, and finishing
moderately clean.

Overall----sometimes I just want a beer and this one hit the mark!

John Barnes limited issue can. Very faint nose of hops and malts, and the taste follows. It's a touch above a light beer. However, it does has some pilsner qualities, and perhaps a faint note of a Helles lager. But it falls short.

Had this on draft on a cruise ship. Nice beer for a hot day in the sun. The other choices were all canned or bottle so this won out. Got a bit tired after 10 days of same beer but held up well. I'm not a beer snob so I won't make any great statements but this beer held up well.

Inoffensive is a word you can use. But it is also lightly fruity and bubbly like a champagne. It’s a good beer and I really liked it

Might not be the worst beer in the world but it's surely somewhere near being a shame for European beers. Premium lager? Wtf really.

I was surprised by this brew. I didn't expect to purchase it but came upon the 1000 ml green can at the bottom of the bodega cold case. What the hell. It had been awhile since my last Carlsberg and had no memory of it. In my expectations I put it on par with Heineken which is never my lager of choice. Because the geography? The green containers? So for no good reason I would be drinking Carlsberg. Or maybe one: It is hot outside. it is a lager and it is gonna be cold. Good or bad it will be done in short time. And it was. Not poured. Straight out of the can like a proper alcoholic! I must say. Among the macro lagers this is among the best. Right behind Sapporo Reserve. What I want in a lager. Nothing off just the right balance of ingredients at the right temperature with no hint of staleness (wet dog) I may even look for it the next time i buy beer.

Pours generous head receding to a light ring and healthy lacing. Fizzy pale gold colour.
Sweet malt overtones and smooth tasting. The main feature of the aromas is malt with a hint of floral hops. Medium carbonation, low hops and bitterness. Good beer.

Probably the best mass produced beer I ever had. Much better than Heineken for example which is in its price range here in my area. It's a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it in my opinion.

This beer actually isn’t bad. It’s pissy yellow but has a bit of a head that dissipates quickly. It smells skunky, of course, green bottle. But it has some decent malt to it and nice flavor. Nothing offensive about the taste. It’s good lawnmower beer but is a bit heavy. Carlsberg is overpriced and you can find better local beers for less but I’d drink this if presented with it.

Of the mass produced beers, this is the best. Probably better than most micro brews. This is what you would expect from a good Danish beer.

I have drunk enough Carlsberg in my time to certify that the beer is drinkable when cold. But "probably the best beer in the World"? Hah, you must be joking.

On tap at British Open. Like the BUCS, it's better than it's record. A nice, clean, sort of sweet beer. Not a lot of bitter, which I missed. But I'd order it again.
