Carlsberg Beer

20110226:
I faintly remember that the Carlsberg wasn't as plain as the Molson Canadian. With that being said, I would be hesitant to try it again. I suppose I would be open to tasting someone else's Carlsberg Beer.

Carlsberg
Carlsberg is light, easy drinking and refreshing. The all malt recipe and Carlsberg yeast strain gives a balance between body and depth of flavour, making Carlsberg the ideal choice for any occasion.

Carlsberg is a Pilsner style lager originating from Copenhagen, Denmark. J.C Jacobsen, our founder, brewed Denmark's first ever pint using a yeast that became the basis for many modern-day imitations. In fact, almost all modern-day lagers are derived from the original yeast, Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis, used to brew Carlsberg.

Enjoy the perfect pint of Carlsberg at home or in the pub! Carlsberg is available in bottles, cans and on draught. Or if you prefer your pint extra cold Carlsberg Extra Cold is also available on draught.

Always enjoy Carlsberg responsibly

Carlsberg Export
Carlsberg Export is a clean tasting, premium lager with continental characteristics.

Carlsberg Export is a premium strength lager, 5% ABV, with a refined and satisfying taste. Brewed to the original Danish recipe, it has deep malty notes and a distinct bitterness that generate a full flavoured beer.

Carlsberg Export is available in cans, bottles and on draught. If you enjoy your premium beer chilled, then the perfect choice is Carlsberg Export Extra Cold, available on draught and served a few degrees colder than standard lagers. Carlsberg Export was the first leading premium lager to be available in Extra Cold and has been perfected to keep you cool on a hot summers day or when watching a closely fought football match.

Always enjoy Carlsberg Export responsibly

Molson Canadian

20110226:
For some reason, I don't have a note of my impression of Molson Canadian.

I sort of remember thinking the beer was flavorless and watery, though I might have been influenced by other people's impression of the beer as well.

Regardless, I don't have a positive lingering impression of the beer and probably wouldn't try it again. I suppose I would be open to tasting someone else's Molson Canadian.

Remark: The beer is categorized on BeerAdvocate.com as an American Adjunct Lager. Beers I've had on BA's top American Adjunct Lager list are Red Stripe Jamaican Lager (Rank 33), Simpler Times Lager (Rank 39), and National Bohemian Beer (Rank 40).

Ingredients:
Barley to malt and the aroma hop.
Danish barley was destined to become the essential ingredient in our beer. Harvested, quality checked, and cared for, the resulting malt is the essence and importantly, the only grain used to make Carlsberg premium quality malt beer.

Hops provide the spice in beer and the hop plant is grown solely for its use in brewing. Only the unseeded cone of the female plant is used in making Carlsberg’s aroma hop—and this is what provides the deliciously distinctive fruity and flowery taste of Carlsberg.

How It's Made:
The Carlsberg experience.
Without good yeast, you don’t get a great beer—and Carlsberg’s is exceptional. In the late 1800s the head of the Carlsberg Brewing laboratory, Emil Christian Hansen, pioneered a groundbreaking method for propagating pure yeast. His discovery, and the resulting yeast, aptly named “Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis”, would revolutionize the brewing industry. In fact, his innovations were so important that Carlsberg chose to share the results with the world. To this day, whenever and wherever you enjoy a lager, there’s probably a little Carlsberg in it.

When it comes to bringing the beer to you, the unique taste of Carlsberg is just too complex to be measured by machinery. That’s why we regularly have specially trained Carlsberg staff taste and approve samples from various breweries through blindfold testing. We know that there is no substitute for real taste buds.

Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry Juice

20110203:
Today I had a Loose Cannon, a mixed drink (see below), and a Yuengling.

The drink was composed of Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, and Cranberry Juice.

Of the mixed drink I wrote the following: "Good sweet." [20140309: While I'm not entirely sure what I meant, I would assume I meant that the drink was "good and sweet."]
