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.

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

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.

50 cl can. Light golden with a small white head. The aroma are some malt and lemon. The taste are malty with some hoppy sence after a while, boring.

0.5l can. Pours a dark amber body with a thin bubbly off-white head. This is actually the first LITE beer I ever taste. Nose is low, but some malts and a slight floral note. There is actually some sweet maltiness here and if i look really hard, some mild fruitiness with a cola-flavor. Quite light bodied and medium carbonated. A sweet almost synthetic herbal aftertaste. I must admit that this was not as bad as first I would have thought, and I could drink this again. Probably won’t though..

Can 330ml. @ home.

Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, fruity, light to moderate hoppy, grass. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, light soapy - perfumed hops. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20110221]

Can. A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel.

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.

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

Can 50 cl. Courtesy of yngwie. Golden beer with tiny floating impurities and a rough white head. Light body, a little sulphur and a dry finish. 270509
