At a tasting, thanks DSG, clear yellow colour, light skunky aroma with a touch of spice, light honey aroma with some graininess. Again, it’s drinkable, but why?

Bottle. Pale yellow color with whitish small foamy head, doughy aroma, average carbonation, slightly sour taste, abrupt finish. Nothing special but decent for a pale lager.

Total Wine, Fairfax 330ml (cheap): Pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is macro lager. Taste is slightly sweet and a bit corny. Easy to drink and wasn’t in the least bit offensive.

Bottle. A standard, yellow, fizzy euro lager. Clean, crisp, a bit of a grassy note, uninsulting.

0.33l bottle courtesy of yngwie and shared with the Kristiansands mafia. Pours a clear golden body, has a few floaters and a small white light sidesticking head. On the nose this is sweet, quite worty - actually ONLY wort. It's average carbonated with a light thin and fizzy texture. Really low on the bitterness this one, not directly bad tasting, kinda grainy and wort-ish again in the flavor. Ends light dry on the tongue. Not horrible at all, but kinda blend and not utterly exciting. Nice to have tried. 30.03.2012
