In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer.

500 ml bottle, as Lomb 2469, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Reddish amber colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of malts, yeast, black crowberries and juniper. Moderately citric mouthfeel. The flavour is more distinctly fruity, with notes of crowberries and juniper berries, also hints of caramel, toffee and brown bread with syrup. Not too sweet though. Moderate to low bitterness.

Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

500 ml capped bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.2%, Black colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, some sourish notes, hints of dirty washcloth. Smooth mouthfeel, fairly decent for its low ABV. The flavour is better than the aroma, well balanced notes of roast malts, mild coffee, dark chocolate and moderate bittering hops. Might well buy again.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Jørpeland. ABV is 6.5%. "Poisonous" green colour, small off-white head. Aroma of kiwi fruit and artificial "tutti frutti" candy. Medium sour and surprisingly dry flavour, with notes of artificial essences. Weird and unbalanced. Hints of alcohol, and some bitterness in the finish. Crap! Shame on you, Rygr!
