Carlsberg Export

I have been pretty busy lately and have not had time to pay "The Beer Diary" the attention it deserves. I have however, been drinking plenty of beer! I enjoyed this pint of Carlsberg Export (~5.2% abv) at my local curry house "The Raj of India" when faced with the choice of Cobra, Kingfisher and Carlsberg Export. Having already had the other two on a previous curry mission my mind was made up. Carlsberg Export is what I would call a standard lager. There is nothing special about it, but then there is nothing particulary bad about it either. But I will add that it soothed the fire from my extra hot Jalfrezzi and that is what counts! Carlsberg is intersting as it is where the accepted standard "lager" or bottom fermenting ale yeast strain was first isolated from. The strain is known as Saccharomyces carlsbergensis. Interesting heh?
