Tasting Notes: Carlsberg: Hvede

Carlsberg Hvede (Denmark: Hefeweizen: 5.8% ABV)

Visual: mix of light red amber gold and a light frothy head

Nose: cane sugar, light hops

Body: Apricot, sugar cane, bitter undercurrents, sour berries

Finish: hops, dark bitter cherries

Conclusion: Carlsberg have done good: this is a premium drink, sweet and rich but with a nice mix of fruit sugary sweetness and surprising slight sourness. A beer to go with ripe fruit and white meat. Well worth it

——————————————————————- BONUS EXTRA TASTING! Carlsberg Standard – Live From Denmark!

Visual: Light but not overly fizzy

Nose: You have to dip it so far in its wet before you notice anything

Body: Water. Though occasionally you may notice the slightest hops trying to swim its way out of this watery prison

Finish: It does yes

Conclusion: Carlsberg do also do a range of bottled water in Denmark, I presume it’s the same as this but with the artificial colouring taken out.
