Svovelpreget med karamell og fuktighet. Rar kornsmak på ølet og med en stikkende munnfølelse der himla kommer lite frem.

33cl bottle from Meny Ringnes park. Pours clear golden with a white head. BB date is October 2013, but it smells old and unfresh. I’ve tried this several times before, but not in the last couple of years. This one is far from how I remember it, no longer a refreshing and hoppy pilsner, but it probably infected like other reviewers are writing about. Overripe or slightly rotten apples is the aroma with notes of malt and vinegar. Slightly sour, hints of bitterness and actually quite unpleasant. It used to be a nice summer beer, and I still hope to try a bottle like that again. Will happily re-rate then. --- Beer merged from original tick of Birkebeiner on 13 Jul 2013 at 00:25 - Score: 2

Flaske på Cardinaltreff april-13: litt (men ikke overbevisende mye) mer smak enn norsk standard. Noe søtlig. Flott etikett.

Flaske 0,33l spandert av og delt med Rune under rateseanse hjemme hos ham 13 Okt 11. Lys gylden med et høyt kremaktig skum som varer. Uklar. Svakt syrlig aroma med innslag av gress. Smaken syrlig. Lite annet. Tørr ettersmak. Veldig pen etikett. Etterlater tvil om syrligheten er planlagt eller om det er infisert. I alle fall ikke noe stort øl. KI=3 (Centra, Majorstua, Oslo).

An unfiltered beer, 330ml bottle from Centra Colosseum in Oslo. Pale yellow-gold content with a slight haze. White lager head with slow recession. Smell of dry citric fruits. Sweet fruity taste including wheat, grass and a touch of mild honey. Tart ending. Flat in the mouth. To share one bottle with Finn was enough for me (Tromsø, 13.10.2011).

Bottle, at Amundsen Bryggeri & Spiseri. It’s and almost clear one, almost golden and with a finger-thick white head on top. The aroma has citrus, flower notes and grass notes as well as some pale malts. It’s quite fruity in the mouth, with pale malts as a backdrop and a decent bitterness. Nice bitterness in the finish. Medium body, dry, silky and a bit watery. Somehow this reminds me of a more fruity edition of the average Scandinavian pilsner, but of course quite a lot better. Surely on of the best Norwegian pilsners. 110823

0.33l bottle @ Amundsen Bryggeri & Spiseri, Oslo. Pours a unfiltered light honey yellow body with a small white lager-head. Aroma is light malty, sweet with notes of honey, some mild grass and that yeasty/melon aroma I often find from some to those micro brewers. Average to soft carbonation, light-bodied and has an light oily to watery mouthfeeling. Tastes quite OK. I guess pale malts and fruity yeast dominates the flavor here. Light drinkable, but not to exciting.

330 ml bottle, at Østkantfolk, Oslo. ABV was 4.7%. Golden colour, low head. Very pleasant aroma of European hops, notes of heather. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Standard pilsener flavour, nothing wrong with it, nothing very special. Maybe a hint of birch sap and honey. More bitterness and less carbonation would be desirable.
