Bottle 33cl @ [ Tasting by Maria ].
Clear light yellow color with a small, fizzy, virtually none lancing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, grain, cabbage water, buttery notes. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (060608)

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Light golden with a pretty and creamy head. Mild, soft. limited bitterness and a pronounced malt-sweetness makes this almost liquid candy. I must admit, that I have a fondness for these Norwegian summer beers. 040504

Canned. Pale golden. Dusty, fruity nose. Very sweet wit notes of crystalized sugar. Otherwise - nothing. Not much of a beer...

UPDATED: AUG 17, 2006 Bottle. Light golden. Low carbonation. Light malty nose. Sweet, malty taste, but not much of it. The beer is made to satisfy "everybody", but in my opinion it probably won’t. (050903)

Courtesy of Yngwie. It’s light golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of boiled cabbage-water and sewer. The flavour has a light sweetness and light notes of malt, hops and light hints of citrus. It’s beyond boring.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Light malt aroma. light malt flavour.

500ml can picked up at Centra Colosseum Park in Oslo. Clear golden-yellow body. Airy white head, quickly diminishing. Oil-fruity smell and taste with notes of vapid vegetables. Harsh acid ending. Foamy in the mouth. Didn’t like it and half of it went down the drain (hotell room, Oslo 10.06.2010).

Medium white coarse-laced head over yellow body. Sweetish aroma with notes of apple and caramel, with a completely unnecessary touch of rubber. Taste is grainy, malty apple with an aftertaste of bitter, watery wet straw. Bitter wet straw lingers. Overall it’s watery. Not really very pleasant. (0.33l bottle.)

Very pale and almost tasteless. There are a few notes of summer fruit here which saves it from the 0.8 rating league. Boring.
