1105779 2010-06-02 11:02:00 Beer has use by dates? D: roddy_boy (4115)
1105780 2010-06-02 11:19:00 No - it has "Best Before" dates. It does go off (eventually), especially the stuff in lighter coloured bottles.

Oh well, at least it's not NZ-brewed Carlsberg - I certainly wouldn't pay a premium price for ANY premium 'imported' brand if it was brewed here. It's NEVER as good as the real thing.

Review the Turkish stuff please roddy_boy....

1105781 2010-06-02 13:02:00 Carlsberg, Turkish brewed.

Pale lager(?). 5.0% alc v/v.
Unit price $1.04

Appearance: Pours a classic pale lager with little head. Light effervescence.
Smell: Mild aromas of sweet esters, but nothing really of note.
Taste: Sweet taste, very mild. Incredibly simple taste, really can't talk about much here. Lack of carbonation very obvious.

Rating: 6/10
Value for money: 11/10

I've never reviewed anything before btw.

1105782 2010-06-02 16:34:00 I've actually seen this beer brewed in Copenhagen, its proper home.

And I did the same in Dublin with Guinness. And with Heineken in Holland. And I seem to remember a brewery in Germany...

But before anyone starts thinking of me as a beer connoisseur -

a) It was a looong time ago
b) I wouldn't be the first young woman to "trade" the occasional museum or art gallery visit with her kiwi bloke...

Pretty professional review I reckon.

1105784 2010-06-02 21:56:00 Pretty professional review I reckon.

x2, probably better than some of the critics at the Royal NZ Herald, for example.

Is Carlsberg a Lager? Generally any hint of esters is a no-no in a lager. But at that unit price $1.04, who cares? What a great buy.

1105786 2010-06-02 22:31:00 Anyone else here tried a local Dunedin brewery, Emersons?

All their beers are amazing, but the Bookbinder, and organic Pilsner are two favourites of mine . . . . . About $9 a glass though :crying

1105787 2010-06-03 01:24:00 So the review could be interpreted -

Looks like beer
Packed like beer
Tastes like beer (used)
Smells like something else
Has a head like a good cup of tea
Cans are waterproof, recyclable, and anti-magnetic

Used for - Economical beer substitute for the latter stages of a long session.
