(Bottle 33 cl) Full, golden colour, decent head. Fresh, good and pretty full-bodied lager with some sweetness. Perhaps this one lacks the more refined hoppy notes as with the best Norwegian Summer beers. 151203

(Bottle 33 cl) "Dark, full and full-bodied" the back-label claims. And dark it is, a beautiful clear reddish brown colour without much head. But "full and full-bodied" I simply won’t accept. This beer is very light without much body. Lightly caramel-like with some sweetness from the malts. Decent. 241103

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale, golden beer, decent head. Brewed according to the "Ice-beer method - (see back label for explanation) which usually gives mild, characterless beers. This beer has a hoppy aroma though without being very bitter. Soft, round and pleasant. Quite similar to all the other Norwegian summer-beers. 061103

(Bottle 33 cl) Nice full golden colour with a nice, creamy head that laces your glass. Of course this lacks somewhat in body, but is surprisingly full in flavour. Nice hop-aroma, but just about no bitterness. 150903

A light yellow beer with a huge white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sour with notes of straw and the body is thin.

A yellow beer with a white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet hoppy and malty. An average pils - nothing wrong, nothing good.

I want to start my very first rating with my local beer. But I’m sad to say that this is a very average Norwegian pilsner. Not specially bitter or hoppy but easy drinkable. Nice pale colour and no unpleasant taste, actually hardly any distinctive taste at all complemented with a to short aftertaste. A typical dull Norwegian beer considered as the worlds best beer by 90% of the local population. Sorry!

Smells bad. Tastes like any ordinary lager, with a high bitterness.

500 ml can. Another beer for the "low carb" craze people. Pale golden colour, head disappears rapidly. Moderate carbonation. Very weak aroma. I was thirsty when I drank it, it was refreshing - but so would a glass of mineral water have been. The lack of flavour is made more tolerable by the fact that there are no offensive side-flavours either. People who actually LIKE beer should avoid these low carb beers like the plague.

Pour is a darker yellow than most pils. Aroma is slightly brunt with a bit of malt showing up. Flavor is creamy, sweet and sticky. Deffinatly not a good pils. Not near as hoppy as it should be and deffinatly not "clean" tasting.
