Tuborg Sprød is a mild, crisp lager of the pilsner type, brewed with a cold-filtration technique that the brewery credits with its soft finish. It is clear and straw golden under a white head. The nose is restrained, with light notes of fruit, flowers and grain. The palate is finely balanced and gently sweet from pale malt, the bitterness stays low, and the close is crisp and refreshing.
