I wanted to try and stay away from the major European breweries while in Europe and found it to be a lot harder then I thought. I saw this on a shelf at the grocery store and it looked and sounded good, even after I saw it bore the mark of the Carlsberg beer giant. I later learned that Jacobsen had been brewing since 1799 and was later bought out by Carlsberg.
This beer poured a nice golden amber with perfect, but almost over abundant carbonation. Strong frothy white head that laced very well. Had a real fruity and slightly spicy nose. The taste was sweet and fruity with notes of almost citrusy hops. Had a light and smooth mouth feel. Very good overall, sort of like a lighter Belgian Strong Ale. I wish I could have tried the other Jacobsen products!
