Celebrating St Patrick’s Day at Blå Rock Cafe in Tromsø with a Guinness Draught on tap. Served too cold so I put a "Bierwärmer" into the glass to get the temperature straight. Very nice appearance; like a coalbed topped with a medium- size white head. Weak on aroma, but some hints of roasty malt. Very smooth and well balanced. Taste of barley, grains and malt. An average stout.

Bottle. 12 oz. A very decent lager for what it was. Pretty standard flavor, with ntohing overly special about it. Better than many lagers I’ve had however, but nothing to call home about.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a large white head that faded quickly and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweetish tangy and a touch yeasty. The flavor was a bit tangy, a bit dry and had light touches of citrus and bread. Medium finish and body. Bland but quaffable.

Das Bier ist am Anfang süß, dieses Aroma verschwindet jedoch schnell und das Bier wird für eine längere Zeit recht herb. Im Anschluss, also schon fast im Nachgeschmack, kommt ein nicht sehr ausgeprägtes malziges Aroma zum Vorschein. Das Bier wirkt vor allem im hinteren Teil nicht ganz ausgereift und disharmonisch. Vom Hocker reißt mich dieser Ire nicht. Test vom 9.3.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,8,8,7,10,7 - 7,85

500ml on tap at Gardermoen Airport. Golden brown. White lasting head. Inoffensive, creamy and smooth with a few hints of malty flavour. Function quite well as a thirst quenching beer (01.02.2006)

On tap. Very dark with thick, creamy head that will last the whole way through. Has a flavor of coffee and some chocolate, also roasted malts. Very smooth and creamy mouth. This beats out Budweiser any day, but it still smacks of macro.

Pour is a golden with a small white head Aroma is grains and malts and really aromatic for a lager. Flavor is malty with a slight hops mouthfeel. Not really a bad for a lager as it pleases all of the sences.
