Can, thx to KnutAlbert. Pours a clear, golden to copper body, with a decent, off-white head. Caramel-malty nose with some cooked vegetables, quite sweetish, and also some grainy notes. Doesn’t seem to be that good judging from my description, but actually, it isn’t too bad, even though giving it 5 on aroma is being kind. The same goes for the flavor, it’s a typical Norwegian low ABV Christmas beer, with caramel-sweetness, a moderate flavor of fruityness and hops, as well as some cooked vegetables. Medium fullness. The finish is caramel-sweet too, as well as some fruityness and bitterness. Well, what can I say? The beer has been away for some years, I don’t think there’s many Norwegians who were missing it.

Smallish white head. Amber body. Sweet syrupy caramelly aroma with hoppy notes. Dryish watery caramelly taste with grassy notes. Boring and nondescript. (0.5l can from KnutAlbert.)

330ml bottle. Nice golden/light brown body with white head. Malty aroma with almost a floral impression. Flavor is sweet, malty with both bitter and aroma hop presence. Medium finish. One of the better Norwegian pilsner at this alcohol level (allowed to be sold in ordinary food stores).

Small coarse white head; orange body with carbonation. Sweetish milky apple aroma with rubber notes. Sweetish caramelly apple with faintly dry metallic finish. A decent pilsener with a bit more malts than usual. Boring, though. (0.33l bottle, thanks to KnutAlbert.)

330ml bottle (thanks to Knut Albert). Dark golden body with great clarity, but only a ring of foam at the surface. Slightly malty to the nose. Flavour has got hints of lemon and some corn-like sweetness. Watery mouthful. Refreshing, otherwise quite dull (21.11.2006).

(Bottle at RBESG 2006) Label said 4.5%. Clear light golden color, white head. Sour malty scent. Old malty sour taste. Not much to cheer for here. Can something nice be said? Well, it looks nice...

RBESG 2006 Grand Tasting. Golden colour, moderate head. Very moderate hops in aroma and flavour. Rather boring.
