hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and banana character as Carlsberg Elephant. First brewed in 1959, Elephant is named after the elephant gate at the old Carlsberg brewery in Valby, and the brewery itself describes it as a pale bock. It pours clear gold with a white head. The profile is vinous and fruity, with apple, melon, banana and caramel over a sweet malt base, while hints of oak, bark, nuts and pine needles add depth. A dry bitterness balances the sweetness, and the alcohol shows as gentle warmth in the finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
