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....

Yellow colour with small white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of malt. Malty flavour with notes of hops and fruit. Quite ordinary pilsener.

Can pours pale yellow with a small milky head.   Decent carbonation, minor lacing.   Aroma is of straw and weak malt.   Taste is much the same cept perhaps a hint of butter.   Finish is fairly metallic.   Overall the flavor is extremely light, body is severely thin.   Not one of the better Aass offerings.

(5oo ml can) Pours a large, cramy, white head and a highly-carbonated, golden body. Slight metallic nose blends with malt. Fruity malt flavour with a slight lactic finish. Average.

Bottled. Pale golden, rich head. Fruity and rounded. Aass pleasant, firm malt character is there, but too little of it. Some acidity, low bitterness.

The Norwegian valley Hallingdal has from ancient times been famous for its strong homebrew and subsequent knife-fights. Aass Bryggeri’s Halling beer is an insult to the proud people of Hallingdal. It’s a lousy pils with little or no character besides being far too sweet. (Sampled 0,5 liter can.)
