Bottle. It pours a copper body with some carbonation, and a quite nice, off-white to beige head, leaving lacings. The aroma is grainy and floral, with hay and caramel, all mixed together into something reminding me of a staple. Medium body with flavors of caramel, hay, field of flowers, some metal and hops leaving some bitterness. Long, caramel-sweet finish with a decent hop-level. Nice fruityness too. I’m probably rating it too high, but considering it’s style, it deserves an even higher rating. The first non-alcohol beer from Norway that is better than a whold lot of our pilsners and pale lagers. Way to go, Aass! (080118)

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is roasted, malt. Flavour is roasted, malt, hay. One of the few non- alcoholic brew in Norway it´s OK to drink.

Jun 27, 2008 Fine amber color. Grain and malt, but there are hops in there, too, if you need an alcohol free beer, this is probably the best option.

Apr 22, 2008 330 ml bottle. Copper coloured beer with a big off-white head. Typical n/a beer aroma with the usual sickly "boiled" notes (baby porridge, over-boiled vegetables), also some more pleasant hints of bakery and caramel. The flavour is bland and boring, again those sickly "boiled" notes, too much sweetness. A slight bitterness in the finish. Not for me this one.

Apr 7, 2008 330ml bottle from Fenaknoken in Oslo. Pours a short lived, off-white head over a deep, dark-brown body. Good lacing on the glass. Smell of wort and malt. Flavours of slightly roasted grain with notes of vegetables and with moderate sweetness. Light-medium palate, but still preferable to many Norwegian lagers (04.04.2008).
