Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Can in Oslo. A sub pilsener. It has yellow color, fast-rising head and tastes like rice. It really tastes quite funky and smells like seaweed, reminiscent of sushi...

Can. Pale golden, decent white head. Vague malt aroma. Sweetish malt flavors, minimal hopbitterness. Light body, fizzy mouthfeel, short semi-dry finish. Unexciting.

330ml bottle. Fast fading white foam over a clear amber body. Lack of aroma apart from a fresh malty brush. Light grassy and citric taste. Highly carbonated. Thin palate (21.11.2006).

Bottle: Yelow colour, with a nice creamy white foam.Aroma of a anonymius maltynes,hops and yeast.Thin body, short finish.

Huge offwhite creamy head with some lace. Light copper body. Very little aroma. Maybe a little grain. Clean, light, malty taste, with some caramel and watery grain. Faintly grassy hop background. Aftertaste is slight bitterness with a touch of grass. A decent effort, but it’s not clear why they bother. The design of the can is the most distinctive thing about this beer. (0.5l can.)

Bottle.Golden colour with a white head. Butterscotsch malt aroma. Butterscotch malt flavour.

Bottled. Golden, with a small white head. Mild, malty aroma with butterscotch and a hint of roastiness. The flavor is sweet, malty with butterscotch and some hops. Medium body. Nothing offensive about it, other than its boring. (060410)

Very similar to their Lundetangen, of not identical (A little difference in the colour.) I don’t know why they bother with all these pilsners and don’t have a shot at something better instead. Theri Chrismtas beers show they can....
