06.03.2009, 0,33l Can. The colour is golden. white head. Aroma is weak and the beer almost doesnot taste anything. Both malt and bitterness is weak.

500ml can from a CC store in Hamar. Clear, dark golden body. Missing head. Light smell of grass. Some citric hints to the taste, otherwise flavourless. Dry and clean in the mouth. Diluted texture. No harm done, but very, very anonymous. (Shared with friends in Hamar, 06.02.2009).

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grain. Flavour is fruit, malt, grain. Thin body and a thin beer.

Canned. Golden beer, lively carbonation. Grainy aroma. Light, thin and watery. There are both hops and malt in there, but in small quantities. Not bad for the style, actually.

Big offwhite shiny head. Yellow body with vigourous carbonation. Sugary mealy peppery aroma. Dry-sweet papery taste with malty apple notes. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dry peppery metallic aftertaste. Decent, but uninspired. Probably the best of the Norwegian lite beers. (0.5l can, Meny Oslo City.)

500 ml can. Mostly diminishing coarse white head. Lively bright golden body. Clean, lightly sweet grain aroma. A noticable whiff of acidulous, rather artificial citrus, and some dusty hops. Taste is light to medium sweet grains, some lemony notes and i minium of bittering hops. Quite crisp, but feels thin in the mouth. Body mass index says anoerctic. Easy to drink, hard to appreciate.

500 ml can, ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, pours very fizzy with a decent head. "Industrial" and rather "dead" aroma, with some grainy notes. The beer is "cold and wet", thin, watery and utterly boring. No offensive sidenotes, but has not much going flavourwise at all.

Can. It pours a clear, golden body with a fingerthick white head and some carbonation. Grainy nose with some hops. Balanced and weak. It’s quite thin in the body, almost watery, with sweet, grainy and lightly fruity flavors in the finish. Not much bitterness. The initial flavor is sweet malty and grainy, with some faint notes of caramel. Drinkability isn’t bad, at least not if you’re a lover of pale lagers. To sum it up: It’s not off, but it’s dead boring, is very low on flavor and aroma, and has a thin body to go with it. Stay away, and get slimmer in other ways. (080929)
