Tuborg Pilsener (German version)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

Tuborg Pilsener (German version)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.

Tuborg Pilsener (German version)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!
