Go Green: Tuborg Green

Together with Carlsberg, Tuborg presents one of the most recognisable Danish products. Since it is present even on the shelves of our small local supermarkets, I guess it’s safe to say it can be acquired almost all around the world.

• Name: Tuborg Green
• Brewery: Carlsberg Brewery
• City: Copenhagen
• Country: Denmark

Tuborg Green is your typical pilsener, meaning that it looks, smells and tastes like a typical pilsener. So, your glass will be filled with a pale golden liquid, topped with a meadium white head with basically no retention. The nose will pick up a mild grainy aroma, as well as some hoppiness. You will enjoy a taste that follows the nose. The start is malty and grainy, but it’s not really sweet as is the case with some others. This nice start is followed by a mild bitterness in the body, not too much of it but still enough to taste it. The finish has some hops in it, but only just.

Is Tuborg Green one of the best beers in the world? No, definitely not the best beer I have tried.

Is Tuborg Green the best Danish beer? No, not really. I prefer Carlsberg to this one, but I bet there are also some other fine Danish beers out there. Hopefully, I’ll get to try several of them next summer.

Is Tuborg Green a good beer at all? Definitely. It’s a very decent beer that gets it’s job done. Nice, refreshing and non-offensive. That’s your Tuborg Green.

The Royal Dane: Carlsberg Beer

Everybody must have heard of today’s beer, Carlsberg. Next to Heineken, it’s one of the most popular European lagers that are available almost everywhere around the globe.

• Name: Carlsberg Beer
• Brewery: Carlsberg
• City: Copenhagen
• Country: Denmark

Being one of the most popular Euro lagers, it doesn’t necessarily mean Carlsberg is also one of the best ones. Don’t get me wrong, I like Carlsberg and I thinlk it’s pretty decent, but that’s it. It pours out with a golden color which is topped with a small and non-lasting white head. It has a slightly skunky aroma at first, which develops later into a sweet and grainy smell. The body is light and watery with a sweet taste which finishes with a slightly bitter aftertaste, which doesn’t stick around for a long time.

Carlsberg is a pleasant and very drinkable lager, which doesn’t offer much taste, but it still quenches your thirst. Not the best one I had, but certainly much better than some other massivelly advertised Euro lagers (yes, I’m looking in your direction Heineken).
