Can. Clear, pale golden, almost yellow, with a small white head. Aromas of malt and hay, with some floral hoppiness. The flavor is weak, with malt and hops, a thin to medium body and a finish that is short and medium bitter. Not exactly worth seeking out. (060316)

330ml on tap at Mack’s ølhallen in Tromsø. Light golden with very little foam. Very light malty aroma. A bit corny flavour (hard to spot). Too much carbonation. A tasteless thirst quencher.

500ml on tap at Ølhallen in Tromsø on a Friday afternoon in friendly company. A dark lager in mahogany colour topped with some foam when shaken. Sweet aroma of roasted malt. Rounded malt character with taste of corn and caramel and a moderate bitterness in the finish. One of the best beers from the Mack Brewery.
