Tuborg Pilsener (German version)
Brewed by Tuborg Deutschland GmbH
Style: Pilsener
Brunswick, Lower Saxony, Germany
Tuborg, originating in Denmark, is available in more than 70 countries in the world. It is also brewed in Hamburg in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516.
The history of Tuborg begins in 1873 in Hellerup, in the north of Copenhagen. There, a small group of industrialists and financiers joined forces to buy a site near the port. The property bore the name “Thuesborg” in the style of its former owner, but quickly became “Tuborg” in its common usage and laid the foundation for a beer brand that is now internationally known and sold in over 70 countries worldwide.
Tuborg made his first appearance in Germany in the 1960s as an import beer.
The beer is also known as Tuborg Grøn (Green), so must be noted that the name and distributor (German version) has changed but essentially the beer is the same as the Danish version as the recipe remains unchanged.
Review: 33cl green bottle of Tuborg Pilsener (German version): ABV: ; 4.9% vol
The Germany-brewed Tuborg “Premium Quality” Pilsener. Coming in a nice looking green bottle with a rather distinctive logo. The crown representing the fact that the beer was “official court supplier of the Danish court” since 1914, as they state on their website.
For the appearance, initially looks pretty good, all sparkling with a nice head of foam and a lovely golden colour, but boy does it go all flat very quickly with the head not lasting too long.
Has a faint lagery smell, a bit malty and sweet, nothing amazing on the nose.
On taste, I got nice big mouthfuls at the start that were a bit hoppy and I could really feel the grains, not a bad initial taste.
The beer has a nice kick to it. Fruity, sweet, bitter, grainy, malty.
Taste a bit of corn as well. Not a bad tasting beer, slightly a bit too overboard with the hops perhaps, as it is a lager after all?
Not a bad tasting beer. Yeah not bad. Lagery taste with a slight kick. Bit of an aftertaste as well.
I feel the beer stops short of developing into something special, and for this reason I would like to try it again to give a better opinion. I have had it on draught and have come to the same opinion. I really am not sure if I like this beer or not, it always stumps me!

The beer is one of the most popular beers in Germany but especially popular in East Germany, as Saxony-Anhalt was part of the old Soviet bloc of the GDR.
sharp for me.
Trinidad’s economy used to rely solely on sugar and oil production with little much else. In 1947, the Caribbean Development Company Limited (CDC) was formed by British native, Sir Gerald Wight, then Chairman of Alstons Company Limited (now McEnearney Alstons Limited), who founded the brewery in the hope of trying to boost the economy of Trinidad with something different. In 1950 the CDC launched its award winning Carib Lager beer.
Mine was a 5% abv but I see some places you can get 5.2%
On nose I get a good lagery malty smell, very beery with a lot of citrus. 
United Breweries Group is a major Indian conglomerate company with its core business centered on beverages, aviation (Kingfisher Airlines!), chemicals and fertilizers, and investments in various other sectors. They even have a F1 team, Force India, and also have a football team, Kingfisher East Bengal F.C, in the Indian League, based in Kolkata.
The company markets beer under the Kingfisher brand, and owns various other brands of alcoholic beverages. It is India’s largest producer of beer. UB also financed a takeover of the spirits business of the rival Shaw-Wallace company, giving it a majority share of India’s spirits business.
Like the logo of the beer, a nice and striking picture of a Kingfisher.
Taste is ….bit citrusy and very, very hoppy, not smooth anyway.
It was founded in 1878 by Robert Leicht. Leicht was a progressive entrepreneur, open to technical innovations, so much so that the brewery very soon had electric light, an artificial ice cooling machine, a cable car, an atomized bottling plant and much more, and in 1897 was the first German beer to be delivered motorized, with a truck from Gottlieb Daimler. At one stage the company had the largest bottling plant in the world!
The ‘Black Forest Dark beer’ coming in a nice enough dark bottle with a fiip top.
Sweet malty taste. Very smooth, but overall not a whole lot of flavours or tastes though.
