Can. Golden with a medium off-white head. Light caramel-malty aroma with hints of hops and vegetables. Flavor is mostly malt and caramel and it has a balanced, but mild bitterness in the finish. I think it is a bit over-carbonated. Medium body. (060207)

44cl can. Clear nut brown colour with a disappearing off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, a bit week body. To little bitterness making this a quite average beer. Short finish.

A yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sour with notes of corn and straw - and so is the flavor - with a dry end.

Bottled. Pale golden with a diminishing white head. Sweet malty and light alcoholic aroma with a hint of something unpleasant I don’t recognize. Malty flavor, with some alcohol coming towards the finish, along with some hops and sweetness. Ok body. (060111)

Can. Unfortunately Mack has a preference for canned beer. On the other hand, this is probably the way for Mack to survive in the Norwegian beer scene. Mack also has a series of "specialty" beer, and some of them reaches the stores all over the country. Points to Mack for that. Høstøl is a clear, dark golden beer with a nice dense, white head. Aroma is malty, with hints of hay and some cooked vegetables. Flavor has a weak sweet maltyness. Light bitterness in the finish. (051231)

Bottle: Slightly hazy, amber coloured, thin, white foamy layer; grainy, bready nose with traces of cardboard; very light bitter flavour, some sweetness detectable; light bodied to watery; short, thinnish grainy finish with a very faint bitterness. A pretty drainpour.......

330 ml bottle. Pale golden colour, fluffy head. Strong smell (I hesitate to use the word "aroma") of grit and extremely over-cooked vegetables. Nasty. Flavour is typical n/a lager, "boiledness" / over-cooked vegetables again, too sweet. Just a faint bitterness in the finish. Bad.

On can - 0.5 l. Contains sediments and the can has pouring instructions. Golden colour with a pretty white head. Fruity aroma and taste. Refreshing. A sourish metallic aftertaste.
