Light hazy golden colour with a white head. Light fruity nose. A light dull malty and fruity flavour. I expected a litte bit more out of this 5.5%. It is not bad, but not good either. Actually quite pale....
[Bottle at Dags Euro 2012 beerfest]

Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Ålesund, bought in September 2012. Clear golden with a large white head. Sweet aroma and taste of malt, honey and some light notes of citrus. Also notes of metal. Drinkable but boring. I think that I had drunk a beer like this before.

Pale yellow of color with a weak white head. An aroma of toffee, butter and malt. A flavor of malt and toffee.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2003 This is a tasteless lager not worthy of any more of my time than I've already spent typing this. Forgettable in every way. I tasted no sweetness, or hints of anything. Those who detect fruit, cinnamon or whatever else are better men than me.

Yet another one in the Norwegian "Gull" (Gold) series of stronger lagers. For some reason, this has been categorized as a pale lager, whereas its counterparts from the other macros in Norway are in the "Premium Lager" category. Personally, I really don’t see any difference between them. Aass Gull manages to avoid the imbalanced alcohol-feel haunting the others of the series, but then again it is also 1 % ABV lower than the rest of the field. Like the other "gull"-beers, this is a rather boring, mediocre lager beer and nothing more.

33 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Golden clear colour with a very little head. Very malty aroma with hints of fruitness from the hops. Also fruity flavour with notes of maltness, ends up light and dull.

0.33l bottle. Pours a clear unfiltered golden body with a small sidesticking bubbly white head. Aroma has some malts, sweet corn-like notes, and some watery hops. Not much more than that. Average carbonation, soft oily mouthfeeling and medium to light-bodied. Mild malty flavors with a distinct corn-like flavor. Ends mildly bitter, kinda watery and heavily boring.

330 ml bottle. Deep golden colour. Clear. Tall creamy white head that clings to the glass. Rounded floral aroma with a hint of delicate malts. Crisp carbonation then gentle bittering hops. Feels a bit thinner than expected. Light malts and surprisingly little maltiness. Hints of green fruits and a little soda pop. Lacks character as it is the carbonation that stands out. Disappointing.

33 cl bottle. Clear golden color, very fast disappering white head. Aroma is sweet. Flavor is sweet with some fruit and bitterness.

29.08.2009, 0,33l Bottle. Yellow with white head. Aroma is malty. There are some bitterness and sweetness, This beer is round, smooth and doesnt relly taste much. ྥ.03.2004: Godt øl med fin avstemming. Mild og god humling og bitterhet. Middels fylde. Kunne ønsket meg mer fylde)
