16.9 oz. can, pours clear, light straw- white head is respectable, aroma is clean and wonderful, even if faint
( as expected)
flavor is great clean Euro malt lager at 5%abv, and similar to -but not exactly like- Heineken
very decent, affordable Euro lager!

by Profundobaso from New York
Look - poured into a standard pint glass. pale yellow in color, clear, very big head that mostly dissipates quickly.
Smell - faint hops, a little bit of herb-like spiciness typical of Euro lagers. Mostly subtle.
Taste - moderate maltiness complemented by moderate hoppiness. finish is clean and slightly sweet.
Feel - light bodied, high carbonation, and pretty standard in ABV at 5%.
Overall - it's a decent Euro lager. Hoppier than most most American adjuncts, but less hoppy than Heineken and other comparable Euro lagers. Easy drinking and typically no complaints.

Ok, come on. Hey now… Raul can get down on this beer. Raul can get down on this beer well and good. Like, offer this at the rodeo and Raul would be riding the bull. It’s nothing special, but so are a lot of things that people like in everyday life. And for now, right now, this beer is fine enough for me.
Peace.

by Squire from Mississippi
Light golden yellow color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of light hay, sweet malt and herbal, spicy hops.
Taste is straight forward sweet malt with a healthy dose of bitter, spicy hops. Malt is key here but the supporting hops leave a distinct bitterness in the aftertaste.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
This is a good, clean European style Lager with a distinctive hop punch that sets it apart from the ordinary.

Enough has been said about notes etc. what hasn’t been said enough - or at all, is that this beer was made for a different culture. In Denmark this is the beer of the people - I grew up in Denmark, and though we have Nani and micro breweries en Masse, you won’t see people sitting on a train drinking those ( it’s legal to drink beer everywhere in Denmark) instead, Carlsberg is like soul food. It goes with everything, and everywhere.

Considering the quality of some of the superb brews available today, it's easy to forget that many of these brews are only available in your local area or in one region of the world.
I agree with many of the posters here that a Carlsberg would not win a 1-on-1 battle with your favorite beer or beers. But it's available to a greater part of the world, and it ain't a bad beer. Its look, smell, taste and mouthfeel are good to very good. Testimony: during my travels to the PRC and India some years back, Carlsberg was often IMHO the best beer available, even in some urban areas.
Try and enjoy !

Pours golden yellow with a 2 inch white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is grassy, bready, metallic, cardboard.
Taste is grass, bread, biscuit malt, slight sweetness.
Light bodied, light carbonation. Semidry finish.
For a pilsner, it's ok.

An average tasting euro pale lager. Slight malt up front; flavor dies on the back. Not a lager I would buy again.

by JohnniEMc from Pennsylvania
A bright green 500 ml can poured out a bright and near translucent brew. There's good carbonation and that lends to a pretty decent head. It smells bread-like, so there may be more malt taste than hops. It is very light bodied, but surprisingly full tasting for a mass produced pilsner. Neither taste is particularly pronounced, but the balance between malt and hops is pretty good. Perhaps indicative of the light body, there's no glass lacing. Maybe not the best beer in the world, but it is drinkable with a noticeable pilsner bite.
