Great Northern Brewing Co. Original lager was brewed with an outdoor lifestyle in mind. With its fruity aroma, low bitterness and clean, crisp finish, it's the ultimate refreshment for the Great Northern conditions.

Bottle at Down Under with Gurthnar. Clear pale golden body, off-white head. Weird aroma, bit rubbery. Empty taste, vague malt, vague rubber, lightly minerally and vaaaaaguely tart. Works well with barbie I guess.

330ml bottle. Clear, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, minimally bready, pale malty aroma, sweet-ish hints of corn, cereals, a touch of brown bread crust, weak hoppy overtones. Taste is moderately bitter, minimally fruity, hoppy and sweet-ish, minimally grainy, pale malty, hints of corn, a touch of orchard fruit.
Watery texture, smooth, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, dense, prickly carbonation.
Clean, fairly refreshing - definitely not the worst Pale Lager in the world.

Can from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with small white top, decent retention. Aroma of grainy malts, corn and grassy hops. Very bland tasting - chewy basic malts, faint grassy hops with some bitterness. Bit of cardboard in aftertaste. Body and fizz are ok for the style. Poor but I've had a lot worse.
