(500 ml can). Another ice beer, the lager style for people who really don't like beer. Pale golden colour, moderate head. Aroma is yeasty with citrus candy notes. Hardly any flavour (at least it's not offensive) and even less aftertaste. A beer to forget the moment after you drank it.

Light yellow colour. Nice can...and ok together with the lawnmover when the sun shines. Thats all. Light malt flavour and aroma.
[Can from Coop Prix in Halden, Norway]

500 ml can. Whenever I find a new beer in the grocery store I feel kinda compelled to taste (and rate) it, even though I’m pretty sure I’ll be disappointed. This is one of those. Pours a pale urine yellow. Smells faintly of sour grains. Aroma is slightly malty and grainy. Aftertaste is like a faint ghost of that aroma, but quickly disappearing. Light mouthfeel. Taste is faintly on the bitter side. This is a sad beer :(

500 ml can. Very pale golden colour. Crystal clear. Throws a tall fluffy white head. Soft floral hop aroma with a metallic edge. Crisp carbonation. Light maltiness with very little flavour. Rather watery. Obviously light-bodied. Subdued metallic hop bitterness towards the end. Very clean and bland.

500ml can. Bright golden. Soapy head, a tiny part remaining. Little pale malt aroma. Citric flavour, mostly overshadowed by metallic sweetness and a milky touch. Creamy mouthfeel (18.07.2007).

500 ml can. Pale, golden body with a white head. Almost no aroma. Flavor is weak malty, watery and a bit metallic.

50 cl can. Ligth golden color, vanishing white head. Ice - no taste, big waste.

Can. Looks like a lager. Hardly no aroma, slight sweetish taste, no hopbitterness, superlight body. And it’s called "Ice", a style made for people that dislikes beer in the first place.

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is light malt. Flavour is watery malt.

A biggish head of coarse white rapidly-shrinking lace over a copper body with ongoing carbonation. Very faint aroma of clean malty sweetness and a hint of apples; barely detectable. The taste is clean sweetish malts with notes of apple and a faintly bitter aftertaste with the smallest hint of smoke. A true ice beer this, with hardly any taste at all. It’s drinkable, but boring. (0.5l can.)

Light flowery aroma and a hint of yeast. They didn’t quite manage to remove all the taste. Cheap in every sense of the word.
