Hansa Påskebrygg from Hansa Borg Bryggerier

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
A slightly-above-average lager. But what makes it an EASTER brew?? Or is that a theological question?

Hansa Fatøl from Hansa Borg Bryggerier

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
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.

Dark amber. Sweet, obvious apple aroma, medium bodied, low bitterness. No - however much I try I cannot get myself to like this beer. Too much green apples.

Dark amber, very lager-like in its simplicity; more of those caramelly vienna malts this brewery loves. Overall bland and uninteresting.
