🇩🇰 Calma from svanekebryghus 👉 Style: Italian Pilsner 👉 ABV 4.6% 👉 Rating: 3/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly

A solid and refreshing Italian Pilsner that actually surprised me a bit 😃🍻 Crisp, light-bodied and nicely hopped with a clean bitterness lingering in the finish 🌾🍋 The floral and slightly herbal hop profile works really well and gives it that classic “one more sip” drinkability that the style is known for 😊

There is unfortunately a touch of diacetyl creeping in with a slightly oily buttery note, and personally I think we should leave that part to the Czechs 😅 It takes a little away from the otherwise fresh and modern expression. Still, this is definitely a step in the right direction for Svaneke 👍 The old slightly sour house character that used to haunt many of their beers seems to be gone, and the new brewmaster clearly has improved a few things 😃 Great to actually enjoy a Svaneke beer again!

The can art is clean and minimalistic with Mediterranean vibes that fit the Sicilian inspiration perfectly ☀️🇮🇹

🇬🇧 Punk IPA from brewdogofficial_ 👉 Style: West Coast IPA 👉 ABV 5.4% 👉 Rating: 3/5 👉 Bought at foetex

This one will always have a special place in my beer journey 😃🍻 Around 12 years ago, Punk IPA completely changed my view on what beer could be. The piney hops, sharp citrus notes, and that bold bitterness absolutely blew my mind back then 💥🍋🌲 I had never tasted anything like it, and honestly… this beer was one of the reasons I got into brewing myself.

Today, it doesn’t hit quite the same. The body feels thinner and the hop profile less explosive than it once did, and the brand itself has lost some of the magic over the years. But despite that, there’s still something nostalgic and comforting about cracking open a Punk IPA 😌🍺

As a classic West Coast-inspired IPA, it still delivers those familiar grapefruit, pine, light caramel malt, and crisp bitter finish notes that made this style famous worldwide. Clean, bitter and easy to drink — even if it no longer feels revolutionary.

The can art is still iconic though 😃 The bright blue design is instantly recognizable and remains one of the most legendary craft beer labels from the modern beer boom 💙

Nostalgia rating? 5/5 ❤️
Beer quality today? Around 3/5 🍻

🇩🇰 Nyborg Kongebryg from orbaek_bryggeri 👉 Style: Pale Ale 👉 ABV 6% 👉 Rating: 3/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly

A solid and easy-drinking pale ale with a nice balanced bitterness and a touch of citrus from the hops 😃🍋 Definitely leaning more traditional than modern hop-forward, so don’t expect IPA-level intensity here. The malt base keeps things smooth and drinkable, while the gentle hop bitterness gives it enough character to stay interesting 🍻

Classic pale ales are all about balance, and this one keeps things clean and approachable with mild citrus notes, light caramel sweetness, and a crisp finish 😎 It’s a bit of a shame the beer isn’t clearer in the glass, as the presentation feels slightly unpolished, but thankfully the flavor delivers where it matters 👍

The red and gold label also gives off some old-school royal Danish vibes that fit the “Kongebryg” theme quite nicely 👑

🇩🇰 Thy Økologisk Ale from thistedbryghus 👉 Style: English Brown Ale 👉 ABV 5.2% 👉 Rating: 3.25/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly

A classic and easy-drinking brown ale with a smooth caramel sweetness and notes of toasted bread 🍞🍯 The malt profile is soft and rounded, giving it that traditional English ale vibe with a gentle bitterness in the background 😃🍻

This bottle also had a slightly oxidized sherry-like note, but honestly… it actually worked pretty well here 😄🍷 Since the beer is around 6 months old, it makes perfect sense — and maybe that’s just the old beer judge in me talking 😂 It adds a bit of depth and warmth to the caramel and toasted malt character without becoming distracting.

English Brown Ales are all about balance and drinkability rather than hop intensity. They often lean into nutty, biscuity and caramel-like malt flavors with a smooth, comforting finish — and this one definitely delivers that cozy pub-style experience 😎

The can… or rather bottle art 😄… keeps it simple and classic with a clean Nordic design that matches the traditional vibe of the beer nicely 👌

🇩🇰 Great Grandpa from Too Old To Die Young Brewing Co. 👉 Style: Hazy IPA 👉 ABV 5.9% 👉 Rating: 3.25/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly Frederikssund

This one definitely has the classic hazy IPA look 😃🍻 Hazy golden pour with a fluffy white head and tropical aromas jumping straight out of the glass 🍊🥭 The nose promises a juicy ride with mango, orange and sweet citrus notes, and the flavor delivers fairly well too 😊

That said, it also feels like a reminder that the brewery maybe isn’t quite what it used to be. The tropical profile is pleasant and easygoing, but the body lacks that full, creamy “juice bomb” mouthfeel you really want from a great hazy IPA. There’s a slightly watery finish that holds it back a bit. Sweet orange and mango dominate throughout with almost no bitterness at all, making it super approachable but also a little one-dimensional 😅

Still a solid and drinkable beer for a relaxed evening 🍻

…and the can art is pretty cool too 😃 The mummy-inspired design with the bold blue and orange contrast really stands out on the shelf 💀💪

🇩🇰 Choko Stout from svanekebryghus 👉 Style: Stout 👉 ABV 5.7% 👉 Rating: 3/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly

I have to admit… I was a bit nervous before opening this one 😅 For years, many beers from Svaneke had that distinct “Svaneke taste” – a slightly sour note that a lot of beer geeks talked about, and it honestly kept me away from the brewery for quite some time. Since they changed brewmaster, I haven’t really revisited their lineup… until now 😃

And based on this beer? Yeah, they seem to have cleaned things up 💪 No obvious off-flavors or brewing faults here – just a smooth and easy-drinking stout with light roasted notes, mild coffee vibes, and a touch of chocolate 🍫☕ The body is soft and pleasant, making it very approachable for people who enjoy classic sessionable stouts.

That said, it’s also a fairly one-dimensional experience. Nice enough, but lacking the depth, complexity, or creamy richness that really makes a stout memorable. Still, solid ex*****on and definitely a positive surprise compared to what I remembered 🍻

The can art has a classy and elegant Scandinavian look with the black-and-gold design giving it a clean premium feel 😃👌

🇩🇰 Black Magic from Thisted Bryghus 👉 Style: Cascadian Dark Ale 👉 ABV 6% 👉 Rating: 3.75/5 👉 Bought at Kvickly

Dark as the night, but surprisingly fresh and drinkable 😃🍻 This Cascadian Dark Ale delivers a really nice balance between roasted malts and modern hop character. Rich notes of toasted bread, caramel and light coffee blend beautifully with grassy hops and fresh pine needle aromas 🌲🌿

What I really enjoyed here is how smooth and balanced it feels. The roasted bitterness never gets too aggressive, and the hop profile adds freshness without turning overly bitter 😎 A great example of how the style combines dark malt complexity with IPA-inspired hoppiness in a clean and easy-drinking way 💪

Also loving the can art vibes here — the purple and red swirling design perfectly matches the “Black Magic” name and gives the beer a mysterious, almost psychedelic feel 😃✨

🇪🇸 Motörhead No Class from 👉 Style: Alcohol Free Pilsner / Pale Lager 👉 ABV 0.5% 👉 Rating 3.25/5 👉 Bought at

“Born To Raise Hell… Without The Alcohol!” Yeah 😎🤘

A really solid alcohol-free pilsner! Crisp, clean and refreshing with a nice light malt profile, gentle bitterness and a proper snappy finish 🍻😊 What I really like here is that it avoids the usual traps of non-alcoholic lagers – no starchy wort-like sweetness, no strange spice notes and no thin, artificial aftertaste. Just a well-brewed, easy-drinking AF beer that does exactly what it should 💪

Alcohol-free pilsners can be tricky to nail, because without alcohol there is nowhere to hide brewing flaws. This one stays clean, balanced and refreshing all the way through. Not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable and a beer I would happily drink again if offered 😃🍻

🇩🇰 Lime Infused Pilsner from Too Old To Die Young Ravnsborggade 👉 Style: Lime Infused Pilsner 👉 ABV 4.5% 👉 Rating 2.75/5 👉 Bought at føtex

“Pilsner With A Citrus Kick!” Yeah… but maybe too much 😅

This one feels more like a shandy than a pilsner to me. The limejuice takes over pretty quickly and comes across a bit too artificial, almost like lime soda or citrus concentrate 🍋‍🟩 The base beer is hard to find underneath, and I miss that clean, crisp pilsner character with light malt, gentle bitterness and a refreshing dry finish.

A good pilsner should be bright, balanced and easy-drinking, and citrus can work really well when it lifts the beer instead of dominating it. Here the lime becomes the main story, and unfortunately it hides most of the actual beer 🍻 It’s refreshing enough, but not something I would buy again.

The can art is classic loud To Øl style with the bright green label and black chain-link pattern – simple, sharp and very fitting for a lime-infused beer 💚

🇩🇰 Czech Style Lager from anarkistbrewing 👉 Style: Czech Pilsner 👉 ABV 4.7% 👉 Rating 3/5 👉 Bought at foetex

This style is a go-to beer. Perfect for making the setlist for Sunday’s concert 😃🤘🎸

Czech Pilsner is definitely a go-to style for me! When brewed well it can have so many subtle flavors hiding behind that clean, crisp drinkability 😃🍻

This one is fine… a little watery, but it has the right crispness and a decent hop profile where herbs and spice meet a subtle flowery aroma 🌿🌸 The classic Czech pilsner should bring that beautiful balance between bready/crackery malt, floral Saaz-like hops, firm bitterness and a clean refreshing finish. Here the light crackery malt could be stronger, and I would have loved a bit more bitterness and depth in the flavor.

But I get it! This feels like a beer made for the masses. It is definitely more flavorful than a standard pilsner, but it won’t scare anyone away. Easy drinking, crisp and worth the money for sure 😃🍻

The can art is simple and classic with a clean, old-school label feel. Nothing wild, but it fits the style pretty well 👍
