Bottle. Clear golden color with okay head. Slightly fruity hops with some sweet malt.

Bottle. Golden body, white thick head. Malty aroma, hint of vegetables. Taste is malty too, sweeter than expected, and a sticky sweet finish.

Som vanlig norsk pils, bare litt mer "bitt" (mer humle, malt og % gir litt mer smak. God balanse. Hvorfor kan de ikke lage butikkøl med denne kvaliteten?

Applegolden color, thin head, its not a sirup one i think but it seems to be. Very thin some grain. bottle looks like the 70s in west/Northern europe.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2013 Oh no! This one is registered as a Pale Lager, I thought it was supposed to be a Strong Pale Lager! How am I ever going to dethrone Pale Lagers from the top of my most rated beer style list when things like this happen? Anyway, in the glass the Aass Gull doesn’t look that inviting: it’s very pale yellow and slightly hazy, and the white head is short lived and doesn’t leave much lacing. The aroma however is much more tempting. Sure, it smells pale lager like, with grainy notes and pale malts, but there there is also a pleasant caramel sweetness and even traces of sweet fruits. The taste is moderate sweet with a light dry light bitter finish. Sweet caramel and fruity flavours. Quite pleasant mouthfeel, the extra alcohol makes body somewhat fuller, and the texture is quite smooth despite the medium carbonation. A pleasant surprise, considerably better than the Ringnes Extra Gold that I had yesterday. The bitterness is quite light, but at least it’s clean and pleasant, as opposed to the metallic, sour, stinging bitterness of the Ringnes.

A medium malty sweet taste, aroma is also malty. Not much bitterness. Colour is yellow and the small head that sits on top is white. (Bottle)

Test from 95: The taste is darker than it looks...On the sweet side, with almost no hops. Average.

330 ml bottle from "Vinmonopolet,Majorstuen",Oslo Bottle @ home April 07, 2013 Beer from a tulip glass Golden color.Aroma is hop,malt and a bit fruity. A bit sweet and easy to drink.Ok macro lager in my opinion.

Bottle. Dark golden, slightly hazy colour with off white head slowly turning into a nice crown. Aroma of toasted malts, cookies, honey, brown sugar, vanilla. Taste is light sweet and goes to light bitter in the aftertaste. Beer with strong aroma and easy drinking, refreshing taste.

Sweet malty aroma with quite a bit candy in it. Sweetish taste with a bit of old wine.
