33cl bottle as "Sognapils" (ABV. 4,7%) from Meny, Oslo City. Pous slightly hazy deep amber with an off-white head. Malty aroma with some fruity notes, mild grassy hops, caramel and hints of yeast. Medium sweet with flavour of dark malts and a quite balanced bitterness. Some disturbing elements, but quite drinkable. Some soapy or perfumy notes in the finish, but still quite okay.

On tap at Kick, Kristiansand. Unclear, dark golden body with a decent off-white head. Aroma gives a nice malt impression with grassy hops, but unfortunately also some displeasing butterscotch. Same goes for flavor, a promising tasty pilsner with too much butterscotch. Medium body and aftertaste. Better luck next time.

Sampled at Bergen Ølfestival 2012. Slightly unclear amber with a nice, creamy and stable off-white head. Aroma is quite mild with just a hint of caramel malt and grassy hops. Flavor is really fresh and fruity with a soft, clean malt flavor and moderate grassy hops. Medium body and medium aftertaste with some of the same modest grassy bitterness. More fruity and rich in flavor than expected for a lager, quite tasty to be a lager actually. Enjoyable and really quaffable.

On tap at Kick. It pours a hazy, dark amber body and a small, dense, light beige head. Some cooked vegetables and hints of diacetyl in the aroma, quite sweetish. Some bitterness in the flavor, and the same elements found in the aroma. Grass too. Soft, medium body. Lasting finish. Not very interesting. 130729

On tap at Bergen ølfestival. It pours an almost clear body, dark golden in colour and topped by a dense light beige head. Grassy, light resiny hops and caramel maltiness in the flavour. Weak but pleasant flavour, caramel, grains, some cookies and a nice grassy bitterness. Medium body, nice carbonation. Caramel maltiness and a fine bitterness in the finish. Nice. 120908

15.05.2013, tap @ Dr. Hagen, Sogndal:
Small shortlasting head. Aroma is butterscotch, wet grain, grass, dough, hay, some hops and nuts. Taste is wet grain, caramel, grass, hay, dough, some hops. Medium bitterness. Pretty boring.

Medium creamy beige head. Clear amber body with light carbonation. Earthy peppery minty aroma with caramelly notes. Dry-sweetish strawy caramelly taste with earthy minty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish minty strawy notes. Quite mild. Clean and fresh, but a little more hops would be nice. (0.5l draft at Café Herman, Leikanger.)
