(Bottle). Another contact brew from Aass, a local attempt in Sandnes town to fill their part of the void after Ringnes closed Tou Bryggeri in Stavanger - I asked the storekeeper whether this "extra proud beer" was identical with some other Aass pils, but he claimed it was a brew of its own (he had to, probably). Anyway, not much here to distinguish it from the average continental style pilsener. At least they have used a decent amount of Saazer hops, which makes the aroma quite good. Colour is very light golden, moderate head. Flavour is quite "neutral" but refreshing (not malty). Could still do with a little more bitterness.

Golden color; big persistent head. Nice malt in the nose and taste, with a correct final hopping. Not bad.

WTF happened here? I swear I rated this beer weeks ago, but now it's gone! Well, all Norwegian "summer beers" (very light golden and bland pilsener varieties) are the work of the devil. Aass' version is one of the least miserable, but still bad. That is, it doesn't taste awful - it just doesn't taste much at all.

Light yellow/straw color. Tiny white head fizzes away. Almost no aroma. After thourougly enjoying the Aass Classic, I was disappointed by this watered down version. Had some straw flavor with some malt, but was too thin. Not much to write this beer just didnt have enough there (wasnt overly carbonated though!). Get Aass Classic if you want a real treat from this brewery.

Dark amber color. Strong roasted malt and caramel nose. Quite heavy body with a touch of acidity; a lot of caramel. Reminds me some old Swiss dunkel.

(Bottle). "Uten" is Norwegian for "without" - this is a beer without alcohol. Looks OK, golden colour, good thick head. Malty sweet aroma that becomes sickly as the beer warms up. Tastes as if it's made from a little malts, a little hops and lots of contaminated water from an industrial waste dump. Avoid!

(500 ml can). Another beer brewed by Aass Bryggeri, Drammen, in the name of long gone Lundetangen Bryggeri, Skien. Norwegian "summer beers" (= very light pilseners) are generally the work of the devil - this one is far from the worst of its kind. Light golden colour, moderate head, aromatic hops are not too bad (Saaz?), very light bodied (of course), clean taste (as far as there is any taste at all), not much bitterness / aftertaste. A thirstquencher for a hot summer's day - if there are no better beers around.

(500 ml can). Light golden colour, reasonably good head. Fruity and slightly yeasty aroma. Light bodied, little flavour except some bitterness that becomes metallic in the end.

(Bottle + can). Another "draught" beer in a can, slightly darker and maltier than Husets Pilsner. Not too bad for a cheap beer. Contract brewed for Coop Norge (cooperative Norwegian grocery stores).
