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)

Can. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. Rubbish.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Flat malt and grassy aroma. Dry and flat malt flavoured. Flat malt and subdued acidic. Flat malt finish with a light acidic touch.

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).

Boks 0,33l kjøpt på Europris Kræmer, Tromsø. Gult stråfarget. Høyt kremaktig skum som varte ganske lenge og etterlot litt møster på glasset. Aromaen er absolutt tilstedeværende: Litt søt malt. Litt metall. Litt frukt. Smaken er flat og kjedelig. Litt malt men mest vassen. Lite kullsyre. Antydning til bitterhet i ettersmaken. KI=6

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. The usual golden, lots of white head the first five seconds then none. Some malt and hops to find in the aroma, taste however is more metal and paper than beer. It seems a lot less bitter than the regular Aass beers. Low carb is no excuse for removing the taste IMO, I’d rather have a 0,33 bottle of regular beer instead if that was important.

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

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2010 Pours a pale golden body with a fizzy, foamy and quickly disappearing white head. Nose is pretty vague; some pale malt notes along with hints of can-like cereals. Taste is equally bland; some adjuncts and corn starch linger around with hints of cooked veggies but in the end this is more a very, very boring "lite" beer than a really bad one (which is usually the case, in my experience). With the exception of an even more watery palate, I’m actually surprised to find that Aass Øl Lite is slightly better than their normal pilsener. What gives.
