On tap @ Henrik. Cloudy almost murky in a way and it has a small light bubbly and sidesticking off-white head. Not way to much going on on the nose really. It's light nutty, yeah perhaps a bit more than light and it also has traces of chocolate, coffee, and after a while in the glass, lots of cocoa powder, dark malts and some forest. Quite nice after a while. Nutty flavors also, some alcohol, a bit nutty bitter perhaps, spices also found here but I haven't no idea which one. Ends with traces of burned grains and a little bit of alcohol. All in all its quite tasty and I would not mind having this again. 06.08.2013

18.09.2013, tap @ Pingvinen:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly peated (!?), did NOT expect that at all, caramel malts, wet leather, shed, peat, almonds, bacon, grass, toffee. Taste is also peated, caramel malts, wet leather, peat, burnt caramel, almond essence, grass, shed, toffee. Longlasting bitterness, kind of dry mouthfeel. Fair enough, kind of interesting though.

On tap at Kick, Kristiansand. Unclear, dark golden body with a decent off-white head. Aroma gives a nice malt impression with grassy hops, but unfortunately also some displeasing butterscotch. Same goes for flavor, a promising tasty pilsner with too much butterscotch. Medium body and aftertaste. Better luck next time.
Earlier Rating: 9/26/2012 Total Score: 3.3
Sampled at Bergen Ølfestival 2012. Slightly unclear amber with a nice, creamy and stable off-white head. Aroma is quite mild with just a hint of caramel malt and grassy hops. Flavor is really fresh and fruity with a soft, clean malt flavor and moderate grassy hops. Medium body and medium aftertaste with some of the same modest grassy bitterness. More fruity and rich in flavor than expected for a lager, quite tasty to be a lager actually. Enjoyable and really quaffable.

On tap at Kick. It pours a hazy, dark amber body and a small, dense, light beige head. Some cooked vegetables and hints of diacetyl in the aroma, quite sweetish. Some bitterness in the flavor, and the same elements found in the aroma. Grass too. Soft, medium body. Lasting finish. Not very interesting. 130729

On tap at Bergen ølfestival. It pours an almost clear body, dark golden in colour and topped by a dense light beige head. Grassy, light resiny hops and caramel maltiness in the flavour. Weak but pleasant flavour, caramel, grains, some cookies and a nice grassy bitterness. Medium body, nice carbonation. Caramel maltiness and a fine bitterness in the finish. Nice. 120908
