Carlsberg Export Lager

Yesterday it was plain old Carlsberg tonight it's the export, courtesy of my mother who's sharing her booze whilst we have some Chinese food she's got from Asda. So again, lets do the intelligent thing and...review it. Carlsberg are one of the cheaper lagers, this ones a bit more pricey than the normal “green can version”, infact talking about the colours, this one inverts the normal can and is silver with a green trim. This time the can comes in the smaller and more average size of 440ml, and is 5% ABV so a far stronger drink than it's little weak brother (3.8%). The company we're first ... more

After a recent opinion I wrote concerning Carlsberg PREMIUM Lager, it was suggested to me that Carlsberg EXPORT Lager was quite a decent beer. Now that's the sort of challenge this site could use more of. So at the first opportunity, I rushed off to Safeway as fast as my little legs would carry me, and purchased a 500ml bottle of CARLSBERG EXPORT LAGER for the not unreasonable price of 99p. I won't bore you with any facts about the brewery as I've already listed some of the more salient points in the previous opinion. Nor will I go into any detail about the bottle...save to mention it's green ... more

I am quite sure that many of the Ciao readers know me by now as a miser. The sad fact is they are right. (but I do learn from my mistakes) And dog gone it I think I’ve put this beer in the wrong category. I couldn’t find it in the standard lagers. Oh, what the hell I’ve started writing so I’ll carry on. As you can most probably tell I had to sample a few Carlsbergs before I could give my honest opinion. One of my favourite lagers is Stella Artois, but Sainsburys didn’t have it on promotion this week, so as you do (miser in my case) I looked for the next best thing ... more

carlsberg export is in my opinion by far the best drink of the danish breweries franchise, there are other drinks like carlsberg special brew and carlsberg premium, but they are not a touch on export, The UK's Most Popular pub chain even stopped supplying Rival Drinks Franchise Carling and decided to supply carslberg on a seven year exlusive deal, in no way am i putting down carling as in my opinion they are equally great, and i would recommend both brands but on the subject export is a highly popular drink for a reason, nice taste, can be used for a social event a casual drink or even for a ... more

It's amazing how different Carlsberg and Carlsberg export actually taste. They are two premium strength beers made obviously, by the same company. But in the taste department there is really only one winner. You could be suckered into thinking that as they are both Carlsberg beers, then they would probably taste very similar. This however, is definately not the case. I was never a big fan of the original Carlsberg because it always tasted a little on the cheap and nasty side (a bit like skol) rather bland in flavour and very fizzy. Probably the best lager in the world? I think not. However ... more
