33cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian. Smells suprisingly fruity, slightly artificial. Aroma of apples with hints of tropical fruits and yeast. Quite strange, far from pilsner as I know it. Light bitterness in the finish. Strange, but okay.

330 ml shared bottle at local tasting. ABV is 4.7%. Amber colour, low off-white head. The aroma is better than in the other two beers we had from this brewery, with only moderate chemical notes of "green apples" shampoo - and more pleasant notes of fruity Cascade hops actually come through. The flavour is half decent, with noticeable resinous hops.

Rerate, sample from a cornelius keg at the brewery. Much better than first sample. Dark amber colour. Nice aroma and flavour of caramel malts and brown bread, not too sweet. Original rating: Shared 330 ml unlabelled bottle at local tasting. Beautful amber colour - that is the best thing I can say about this beer. The same horrible "chemical" smell of "green apples" shampoo as in their Pils. The flavour is somewhat better, with some caramel malts, but the disgusting aroma ruins the drinking pleasure completely.

Rerate, at the brewery: Sample from bottle. Better than first sample. Fairly malty, medium sweet. Decent hops in the finish. Original rating: Shared 330 ml bottle, as Kofoedbryggeriet Hvaler Pils. Golden colour, moderate white head. Disgusting and strong sweetish and perfumed aroma, "green apples" shampoo galore. Malty sweet flavour, seems not properly fermented. "Chemical" and perfumed notes. Sharp and metallic hops in the finish. Should never have been released. For a new brewery to launch crap like this, it may ruin their reputation for a long time, or lead to their downfall.

Bottle, courtesy of Cunningham, thanx for making this rare beer available. Almost clear golden body with a nice white head. Mild grassy aroma with some malt and citric fruit. Flavor is light and refreshing, sweet malt and pleasant bitterness. Medium body and moderate aftertaste. A really nice pilsner within its limits.

Bottle, courtesy of Cunningham, thanx for making this rare beer available. Hazy orange/golden body with a small off-white head. Rather light in aroma with some malt, light citric fruit and grassy. Flavor is sweet, mild, soft malty, hint of caramel, some fruit and a grassy bitterness. Nice and quite straight forward in a pleasant way.

Taster from a bottle kindly provided by KnutAlbert for the garden tasting session at OleRs. Faint, white head. Muddy amber body colour. Fruit hoppy nose. Wheat and juicy malts to the taste buds. Short-lived, smooth bittersweet ending. Refreshing and aasy going (Stovner, 25.05.2012).
