Medium, white, fine-laced head over pale yellow body. Very faint aroma, in which noble hops can just be made out, together with something else that doesn’t seem too promising. Taste is watery initially, but quickly develops into a quite strongly hoppy taste, with strong off flavours. Cardboard, wet straw, and bitterness can be made out. Aftertaste is bitter. The hops seem OK, maybe noble, but they drown in the off flavours. This was decidedly unpleasant.

Big white fine-laced head, clear copper body. Soft, faintly spicy floral hop aroma. Taste is initially caramel malts, followed by floral hops and apples. Dry, papery, mealy aftertaste with a grassy bitterness is the lowest point of the beer. Not the most exciting Pilsner, but decent. (0.5l can.)

Smallish, normal-laced white head, which subsides quite quickly. Pale copper body with some solitary bubbles floating upwards. Hardly any aroma; can faintly detect some caramel malts, but that’s it. Very faint and watery taste; only in the aftertaste can a vague malt and hop taste be detected. Very, very boring.

Big head of fine lace, pale copper body with some ongoing carbonation. Nice aroma of pine-like hops, with notes of metal and grain. Crisp, clean taste of caramel malts; soft aftertaste of pine-like hops. Not that much taste to this one, but what there is is very clean and nice; for a Norwegian lager this is pretty good.

Biggish creamy white head over pale yellow body. Acidic, refreshing aroma with fruity notes and some grain. Taste is apple-like with some light malts. Aftertaste is very light bitterness with some straw. Not at all bad; in fact, probably the best Norwegian "summer beer". A decent light lager. (0.5l can.)

Bottle. Slightly malty, appleish aroma. Dark chestnut colour, semi-stable head. Quite malty flavour with OK bitterness. Liquorice aftertaste, and the maltiness disappears. Bitterness turns a little rough, tannins?

Medium, creamy, white head; light bronze body. Aroma of noble hops with notes of grain, straw, and, faintly, apple. Taste of apple and wood, with soft aftertaste of noble hops. For a Norwegian pilsener this is great.

Bottled. Now brewed by Aass Bryggeri. Pale golden with white head. Malt and cooked vegetables in aroma. Metallic and some candy-fruitiness in the flavor. Some bitterness in the finish. Blaargh! (051229)

Bottled. Copper colored with a nice beige head. Some malty aroma. Flavor isn’t much either, but some candy-fruity elements is present. Boring, and not much of a christmas beer. (051207)
