Thank you, Raedwulf. I suppose that by "beer" you mean ale, since you're contrasting it to lager.

To address one of your points, Carlsberg Elephant was brewed under license by Molson in Canada for some years, but what I buy here now is imported from Denmark. So it's quite possible that some batches are past their sell-by date. But it tastes better to me unchilled - maybe I'm just weird.

Good discussion!
