Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2006 Biggish creamy white head over pale yellow body. Acidic, refreshing aroma with fruity notes and some grain. Taste is apple-like with some light malts. Aftertaste is very light bitterness with some straw. Not at all bad; in fact, probably the best Norwegian "summer beer". A decent light lager. (0.5l can.)

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2012 bottle - golden body with a white head - a very standard lager beer, nice and easy drinkable - moderate malty and hoppy aroma and flavour

33 cl can. Pours clear straw coloured with a small white head. Weak grainy sweet aroma. Taste is on the sweet side, light grassy hops. Strange metalic aftertaste. Light and easy drinkable beer for those barbeque evenings.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2006 25/11-2006 Can: Light light golden colour, with a nice dcreamy foam. Aroma of hoops and dry yeast and malt. Bitter hoops in the start, then it\s was gone(?) Light body, short malt/bitter finsish. Sorry but this was a werry disepoiting summer beer from Aass.

[Canned. Furseth delivers] Pale golden colour. Saaz aroma, fresh and flowery like a summer mead. Also, bit sweetish, earthy/dusty in aroma. Light citric flavour, and very pale malty. Low hop profile in flavour. Low bitterness. Light body.

(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

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.
