Can. Nice apperance with a snowy-white head over a pale golden body. But then... both aromas and flavors are carefully eliminated, due to the "ice beer" style. The penguins pictured on the can seems satisfied though. I’m not.

Golden colour with a white head. A very standard lager beer. Mild malty nose. Flavour are just LIGHT.

0.5l can. This is a clear pale golden beer with lots of unfiltered particles and quite the big just off-white head. The aroma is light hop-dusty and mildly malt-sweet. Not much more. Fizzing and average carbonation level with a thin and quite watery mouthfeel. Weak flavors. It should perhaps have been served a bit colder to camouflage the flavors even more. Not sure it would have been anything left to taste then.. Thin hints of sweet caramel-butter in the finish. It’s no off-flavors what so ever in this one, but it’s just extremely plain.

Clear medium yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, fruity, light to light moderate hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light metalic. [20100827]

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2010 Very bland. Very boring. Not bad, but not too good either. Not really much to say here; just anutha everyday lagah f’yall to quaff in between the good stuff.

Bottled in Trysil. Clear pale golden, small head. Dryish and fruity, light bodied with clean, rouned mouthfeel. Mildly malty with low hop rate and no bitterness. Rather edgeless. A weak effort by Aass, but their malt structure is quite superior to most commercial brewers, so the even their Ice Beer is pretty drinkable.

Handsome penguin-adorned silver tin swigged in Vigeland Park. No idea what the contents looks like. Slick creamy m/f, hay, flour, discreet honeyish aroma. Clean and faint with grass and almond milkiness, some clinging....erm, hop? Bitterness, anyway. Not digging the slushy fat feel of this at all. Watery, nitrogenous, but generally so inoffensive it’s barely there..

15.08.2008, 0,5l Can. Pale yellow colour. Firm head. Aroma is weak. The beer is lively carbonated and the taste is bitter.

Can. Thin pale yellow colour with tiny floaties. Weak malty bitterish aroma. Bitterish weak maltish grainy flavour. Thanks yespr.

Can. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours light hazy golden with a creamy and quite staying white head. Aroma is softly sweet malty. Very high carbonation - quite thin. Thin and tame sweet. Some weird spice at the end?!
