Carlsberg Master Brew
Master Brew was launched in 1996 as a strong special brew from Carlsberg, made with a portion of glucose syrup alongside barley malt to reach its strength. It pours a clear reddish gold with an ivory head and opens with a light floral nose backed by ripe pineapple, apple and strawberry. The palate is full and sweet, with nutty malt and fruit, and a well-balanced bitterness steadies the sweetness. The high alcohol is noticeable as warmth throughout.
