33 cl can on an airplane between Copenhagen and Prague.

Pours with a big white head, fairly creamy at the top, lots of tiny bubbles in the rest. Straw yellow color, clear and not light yellow as some. Dominant malty scent, also a bit sour smell. Rather medium body at first, but turns a bit watery. Not too malty, but still a bit sweet taste. A tiny fruitiness in the flavor as well. Fairly low to medium bitterness. Sweet and malty long aftertaste. Fairly refreshing, but a bit "old beer" taste on the toungue after a while.

Purchsed in Oslo, Norway in August 2012 - consumed March 2013. 4 pack was like $25 or so...lugged the last two home (no way I would leave 2 of those in the hotel at that price). Poured from 0.5L can into tulip. ABV says 4.5%; but all writig is norwegian. Pours a golden color with a finger of head - actualy nice lacing and rim of head remains. Smell is skunky fruity "heineken"like. Taste is a bit fruitier than most of the style, but its not bad at all. Nice euro lager flavor, sweet, slight hops, but honestly its pretty good. Maybe its the slight "age" and transport in a suit case, but its pretty good.

The front label of this bottle of Tuborg Green proudly displays the words "Copenhagen, Denmark." But close examination of the back label reveals that this brew was produced in Rajasthan, India.

The beer pours a pale straw body with a thin fizzy head.

The nose is of untoasted grains and rust.

The taste follows the nose. Rusty metal and grains up front with a bit of metallic twang on the back end. The mouthfeel is thin and watery, just like the beer.

As a general rule, it's a good idea to stay away from all the Tuborg products available in India. The sweet malt liquors and lagers available here, in their hop-less sweetness, have a kind of charm. This one fails even to deliver on that level. If you must drink something and this is your only option, you still might pause and ask yourself just how thirsty you are before trying it.

A pale, cloudy yellow color with a finger of head. A fair amount of bubbles visible.

A mild smelling beer. A grainy smell... barely.

Taste is mildly bitter, metallic and dried grain. Puckers the mouth a bit. Not really enjoyable.

Crisp texture. Moderate carbonation.

Not impressed.

A 275ml green glass bottle with a BB of Jan 2013. Picked up as a 4-pack from a supermarket.

Poured into a tulip pint glass. A clear pale-gold colour with plentiful fine carbonation. Forms a small head of white foam that rapidly reduces to a surface layer. Aroma of light malt with hints of stewed leaves, corn, overcooked veg and a faint but harsh sulphurous note in the background. Not nice.

Tastes of light malt accompanied by an unpleasant stewed leaf flavour. Hints of overdone veg, corn and a harsh background quality. Mild, dry bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light, thin and watery, with tingly carbonation. Slightly astringent, with an aftertaste of stewed leaves.

Piss - not a good lager. The initial aroma/flavour seemed vaguely acceptable, with a hint of noble hops. However, everything went downhill fast once it began to warm up. Bland and boring with disgusting off-notes. Best avoided unless ice cold.

not as bad as folks are making it out to be. pours bright yellow with an average white head. smells like a boring euro brew, old malts and some run of the mill yeast. flavor is surprisingly good, its crisp with some hops throughout, and the malts arent as rotten as the smell suggests. it leaves a bit of a gross aftertaste but it is down easy and nice and refreshing on a hot day. feel is good, its bubbly and light. i can drink a whole lot of these in a sitting. not a good beer, but in a market saturated with bad beer it stands out to me.

Head disappears really quickly, so does the carbonation. Colour is pale bright gold, not particularly intriguing.
Nose on this is rather assaulting, sort of a sour citrus. Taste is quite bland, though not terrible, flavours aren't composed together well, some citrus altogether quite light in taste, and a bit rough around the edges. Tt tastes a bit watered down, and this affects on the mouthfeel.
Finish is not profound, a kind of apple sourness pervades and it's not terribly memorable. Not one to seek out, fits into the style of mass-produced 'golden' lager without doing much to draw any good attention to itself.

500ml can poured into a 22.3oz pilsener glass.

A - Pours a pale golden color with a bubbly white head. Rather lively off the pour, but quickly dies off. Poor retention and no lacing. Not a fan of the can design either.

S - The aroma here went through a rather peculiar process I've never had before. Immediately after pouring it smelled of cereal grains and a mild grassy sweetness; a generic lager. Then about 2 minutes after pouring all I could smell was urine and cat breath, overbearing and absolutely vile. 2 minutes after that, back to cereal grains and grass, but with a mild fruitiness and a huge honey character. If I didn't know any better, I'd assume I was smelling the aroma of a honey lager. I've never smelled so much honey in one beer.

T - Mild cereal grains upfront, unspectacular and unoffensive, with a grassy finish that gets hit with a warm honey sweetness. Gentle fruitiness adds some interest. Certainly a big upgrade over most AALs.

M - The body has some weight to it, and the carbonation isn't as fizzy as most macro-lagers. Finishes wet and refreshing.

D - Other than the wild bouquet of aromas this brew went through, it was pretty much the 'same old, same old'. I was hoping this brew would be something like its Danish counterpart Carlsberg, but it didn't really deliver the same delicious profile of that. An unoffensive lawnmower beer at worst.
