Harboe Classic Jubileum 110 (#61)

For my last beer in Copenhagen I've chosen an anniversary beer from Harboe brewery. They make a bunch of different beers with different labels which are changed quite often to tell you the truth.
One latest brand is particularly interesting. I didn't see in stores so I cannot tell you how it tastes but the idea behind the beer is very up-to-date, at least environment wise.

Coming back to Harboe Classic 110. Let's see the review, shall we.

Today I want to present you the second Copenhagen episode. This one surprisngly not with a Danish beer. When I saw Tiger on the store shelf I just couldn't resist. After all their commercials are great - I'm sure you remember this one.
