Pale golden. Slightly crisp, but thin. They should have used more love and less clear source water...

Another light beer (which in Norway always means low alcohol) that may keep you from dying of thirst when you have to drive. Actually, this one has acceptable hops as well, and is not too bad. Light coloured and less malty than other Norwegian light beers, it's still among the more drinkable of its kind (which doesn't say much, really).

Peculiar yeasty (even though this is a filtered lager), sweet and fruity aroma, flavour is nothing to shout Hurrah! about (bland and alcoholic), very little aftertaste. Is this really Vienna style? You'll be so more happy drinking any (allegedly Vienna style too) Norwegian Christmas beer (\"Juleøl\") - just be sure to get the strong version. Beers like this one just aren't flavourful enough for winter, and not refreshing enough for summer!

Not THAT bad - a light summer pilsener that's intended to run smoothly down your throat. It does. Period. Rerate: This year's production has not improved the quality. Why on earth do all Norwegian breweries insist on making light, bland and totally uninteresting \"summer beers\", when their ordinary pilsners are summer beers good enough?? (Actually, the ordinary ones are much better).

Rerate: Quite successful light lager. Some wheat malts are used in addition to the barley, giving the beer just a little of the dry freshness you find in a wheat beer. Too weak on the hops though.

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!
