3.1 Medium white head. Clear still amber body. Earthy caramelly aroma with mineraly toffee notes. Neither dry nor sweet fruity caramelly taste with nutty earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish fruity caramelly toasted sugar aftertaste with spicy notes. Nice, drinkable, understated. Could use more character, though. (0.33l bottle, from Scandic City Hotel Aarhus.)

2.2 Flaska från Netto i Köpenhamn. Gyllengul med fluffigt vitt skum. Lite brödig och skogig doft. Mild ganska tråkig smak.

2.3 Weak, vaguely citrus-scented. Did not feel like finishing the second half of the glass.

2.6 How: can Appearance: almost clear light golden, medium white head Aroma: fruit, some citrus peel. Palate: light body, high carbonation.

3.0 Certainly better than your average macro offering, especially on a three-hour layover in Copenhagen. Aroma is bread and citrus. Taste is much more citric with some malts.

2.3 Iha jees lätkäbisse. Tähän joku maggara kaveriksi, niin hyvin toimis kisastudiossa.

2.9 330ml can @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, Feb 16, brought back from Copenhagen by me. Pours gold, white head. Presents a light, pleasant sweetness with soft mouthfeel. Quite easy-going and sessionable and while it won’t win any awards for the style, it wasn’t as bad as expected.

2.2 Shared can on 17th Feb 2016 at a Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting: thanks Mat for yet another offering. Light golden with a wispy white collar for a covering. Not a lot going on: some mild fruity notes within a malty base but all a bit wishy washy really. Refreshing but lacking in depth and flavour.

2.9 500ml can from supermarket. Pours golden with quickly diminishing medium sized white head. Aroma has citrus, fruits. Medium sweetness, light bitterness.

2.5 Dåse. Farven er gylden med en hvid skumkrone. Aromaen og smagen er sødlig malt og karamel.

2.5 Somewhat anonymous brew that lacks a clear character. Good thirst quencher.

2.7 From tab. Fresh fruity, berry aroma. Clear golden, white short lasting head. Medium sweet, mild bitter taste. Average carbonation, light-medium body.

2.6 KRS 250415. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grass, peaches, citrus. Flavour is fruit, malt, grass, peaches, citrus, spices. Medium body. Ordinary beer.

2.7 07.08.2015. 0,33l Can. Golden colour with white head. Clear. Aroma of sitrus and orange. Medium to low on body and bitterness. fresh beer. Soft.

3.5 As Sinebrychoff Nikolai Brewmaster’s Collection California Steam Beer: Appearance: Clear golden, not much head. Aroma: Malt, some sweetness. Taste: Good malt and hops, some fruit and crisp. Bought: Kilpishalli (Finland), 330 ml, €2.55 Info: 27/7-2015, BB: 17/8-2015

2.6 On tap at Heidi’s. Clear golden with white head. Aroma malty, sweet and clean. Taste is sweet, malty, light hoppy with a sweet finish

2.8 Canned, from local supermarket Pours clear amber color with a smallwhite head, disappears. Sweet, malty, jam, slight cardboard in aroma. Malty, sweet, vitamins, faint apples in taste. Medium carbonation. Malty aftertaste. quite ok

2.5 Bottle. Darker golden, small head. Grainy notes in aroma. Bit of sweetness and cereal in taste. Better than expected, and works out quite well on a hot day when being served cold. Later on it feels too thin though.

2.6 Golden colour with white head. Aroma of malts and grass. Flavour is fruity and malty.Bitter finish. Decent.

2.9 33 cl. can from Rema 1000 supermarket. Clear, golden colour with a big, white head. Fruity aroma with grasses, pale malts, biscuits and a floral-citrus note. Taste is light sweet. Light to medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes slightly dry and fruity. Clearly a Carlsberg product: Clean, consistent and middle of the road. But not bad. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

2.8 Puszka, 0,33, sprzedawana w okazyjnej cenie w browarze Carlsberga. Bursztynowy kolor, orzeźwiający aromat, w smaku łagodne, dobre na schłodzenie, choć szału ni ma.

2.4 Can, 11/07/15, thanks tstm. Aroma is cardboard, light citrus, grain. Taste is cardboard, light citrus, something strange. Not too unpleasant.

3.9 (Pullo 0,33) Tuoksu hedelmäinen ja vaahtoa kuohui pintaan kauniin kullanruskean värin pintaan. Maussa ei juuri lainkaan katkeruutta, pehmeän maltainen, mausteinen ja hedelmäinen. Tuo mieleen joulun sesonkioluita. Panimomestarit osaavasti asialla, täyteläinen ja aromikas kokonaisuus.

2.5 Beautiful large foam. Fine hoppy aroma. The taste is slightly lager-like with a hint of ale character to be understood as more mellow and satisfying fullness than a lager usually offers. California Common is the American version of a lager, from the time when the pioneers in America brewed beer with lager yeast in a somewhat warmer climate. It provides a lager with great fullness, more malty character and often a very reticent to anonymous hop bitterness. Carlsberg new beer is a fine California Common tastes slightly fruity, lightly hoppy and malty caramel and fresh grain. Lovely beer that I definitely like enjoying again.

2.2 (Bottle, 0.33 l, from local supermarket, 20150626) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness and hint of grass. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were were grass, sweetness, acridness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and acrid. Nice looking brew with unpleasant aroma and taste.

2.1 Canned@fonefan. Golden colour, small white head. Arroma is metallic, grainy and some floral notes. Flavour is metallic, mild fruity and floral ntoes with some grains.

2.3 Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Aroma: slightly malty and fruity, but mostly weak and indistinct Appearance: a light gold to yellows color, clear, thin white head with poor lacing Taste: Simple, malty, slightly fruity (apple), but overall not very complex or flavorful Palate: Light, thin body, coarse bubbles with a short tingly finish Overall: Better than your standard light ale or generic lager, but nothing to write home about. Doesn’t compare well to Anchor’s benchmark in the class.

3.0 Can at home. Clear golden beer with an offwhite head. Malty bready hoppy caramell aroma. Malty earthy caramell hoppy flavour.

1.7 Can. Pours clear pale amber with small white head. Aroma is malt, lemon, green apples, syrup and cardboard. Taste is light sweet, faint bitter and medium to very acidic. Body is watery to light oily with sparkling fizzy carbonation. Finish is mild andmostly sweet with notes of sugar, syrup, malt, grass and hints of spruce. Rather thin.

2.7 Canned, thanks to omhper. Clear golden beer with a rich off white head. Malty bready aroma, dis, earthy notes, hops, cream notes. Malty earthy flavor, caramel, biscuits, cream notes, some dust. Decent beer.
