Dark golden coloured and moderately carbonated, this Norwegian lager relies heavily on the caramel malts used. The flavour is distinctly sweet, but quite well balanced with the hops. Lager lovers with a \"sweet tooth\" will find it attractive, the rest of you will at the best see it as an acceptable \"change of pace\" beer.

This is a light golden coloured Norwegian pils with a pleasant, fruity (but not very strong) aroma, easily drinkable, too lightly hopped (even for me, who's far from being one of the extreme 'hopheads'), hardly any aftertaste.

Actually it's not too bad for its strength, but still: Get the stronger version instead!

A slightly-above-average lager. But what makes it an EASTER brew?? Or is that a theological question?

Incorrectly named ’draught’ beer - comes out of a 0,5 l. can. Among the better Norwegian lagers, slightly darker than a traditional pilsener, rather malty with German aromatic hops.

Nice dark amber/ruby colour, not the biggest head I've seen but it's O.K. Slightly chemical aroma with hints of banana. Sourish taste of alcohol.
