1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20 HansJM (358) - NORWAY - DEC 31, 2000
The norwegian version tested - 4,5% (vol.) - Easy drinkable. You almost don’t feel any taste at all!
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Tequilakongen (287) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 18, 2011
Fruity sweetness, with grains playing in the background. Slight bitterness to the finish. Hazy amber colour with white head. (Can)
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 softale (188) - Michigan, USA - OCT 1, 2002
This is a Vienna-style brew. Also it’s probably my favorite lager. A nice amber appearance. Nose is a mix of fruit (apples mostly) malt and a whif of spice. Very smooth and drinkable. Cost is the only negative it’s over $12 per six pack where I live.
Re-Rate: I have to drop the numbers just a bit. It’s hard to rate a lager (albiet, a very good one) at a 4.0 or above. Another RE-RATE: I am growing tired of this beer despite really liking it intially. Now I find it lacking a bit in flavor.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 abstractbeer (181) - NORWAY - FEB 11, 2011
Pours a rather pale brew, but a tad darker than an ordinary pilsner. Smooth, nice mouthfeel. Rather on the sweet side, with aromas of fruit, raisins, and a hint of fresh tobacco.

This beer smelled like pure skunk. Taste was a bit better, but it was still rather flavorless.
0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20 Dougal (130) - Escondido, California, USA - SEP 18, 2002
For a lager, it isn’t that great, even for a Vienna Style lager. This is certainly not the best Norway has to offer and I would recommend against seeking this light malt, skunk nosed brew out. Seek out their Bock.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 DrPiva (90) - Alabama, USA - DEC 18, 2007
A unique lager with very light aromas and just a hint of malt. Although a lager, it is amber in color. Very drinkable with occasional malty flavors and little hop bitterness compared to the average lagers. It has a dry feel, and is very refreshing.
