Should not be ratable by my opinion, but have to registrate this for the record. Consists mostly of concentrates and additives and the flavor is characterized by it. Not worthy. My rating: Clear golden with a fast dispersing white head. Aroma is pear and soda pop, no apple whatsoever. The can is labeled tørr (dry) – dry my ass, this is simply ubersweet and disgusting, plain soda pop for kids. And for the record, the taste is pear, not apple. It’s stuff like this that gives cider a bad reputation. To be marked not ratable.

Tap @ Både &. Unclear golden body with a small white head. Aroma is a bit strange and difficult to place. Some kind of general fruit in combination with ripe fruit, wood and sweet white wine. Flavor is fruity and feels surprisingly sweet considering the brut consept, might have something to to with the high alcohol, its actually way too boozy to cope with the light body and mild fruity flavors. The first few sips turns out quite OK and at least something interesting. Sure fun for a festival sample or “planke” experience, but to actually drink this was not easy for me, way too boozy and totally out of balance. Aftertaste actually ends Sweet and boozy.

Tap @ Både &. Rather clear deep golden to pale amber body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma has malt, biscuit, caramel and ripe fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, mild caramel, dry fruit, hint of peaches and moderate bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. A bit old school IPA, British style but feels surprisingly fresher than the first impressive. Not bad, but not very interesting either. Food friendly at least, nice in combination with a burger.

No use for kneeling down
When there's no tomorrow
I feel it coming on like never ever before
So let your tanks roll on
When there's no tomorrow
Coming on so strong
'Cause, baby, you know I need some more and more and more

Sampled on numerous occasions, from bottle, can and on tap. ABV is 4.7%. This is the best Norwegian industrial pilsener which is widely available. Brewed by Norway's oldest remaining brewery, still owned by the same family. Typical pilsener golden colour, with a moderate white head. Aroma and flavour of Saaz and Hallertauer hops, fairly crisp and refreshing.
