Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, grain, cabbage water, sour malt and honey notes. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (060608)

Can. A light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of acidity - is it brewing cereal? The flavor is sweet with notes of both straw and malt, leading to a slightly bitter finish, where the notes of straw lingers. The body is thin.

(Can 50 cl) Clear, pale golden with a creamy, white head. Lightly tart malt aroma. Fairly light-bodied with some malt thrown in. Quite hoppy in the finish. 230407

Sample from can. Pours very pale yellow. Aroma is fresh, slight citric and a vague hope note. Dry, hops and a vague malt note makes the flavour. Short finish.

Canned. Golden colour, rich head. Very sweet, lightly malty and bready. Saccharine-like finish. Aass usually pleasant malt character is replaced by a hefty dose of saccharine...

Can. Clear pale yellow coloured with a white head. Light malty aroma with notes of fruits and hops. Perfumed fruity flavour with notes of hops. Light hoppy finish.

Can
Hazy light blond color, no head. Almost no aroma, light cereals. Same for the taste, with a light off-flavor.

Can. Pale golden beer with a decent white head, leaving some lacings. Malt, hay and cooked vegetables in the aroma. The flavor has malt, grass and some hops, but the hops hide themselves very well until the finish. Thin body. Yet another wasted Sommerøl. (060623)
