Canned. pale golden, firm head. Grassy aroma. Dryish and light bodied - a bit thin. Low-medium bitterness.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2012 På boks fra Svinesund, svensk side vel å merke. Lyyyyyyyyyyyyst øl med bitte lite skum. Lukter minimalt og smaker minimalt. En anelse metal er det mest innovative med denne. Nedlagt og blir ikke savnet.

(Canned) Golden colour with a brief, bubbly, white head. Malty, bready nose with grain, hay and grass. Fresh. Malty, clean taste with white bread, grain and grass. Low bitterness and moderate sweetness. Thin body. Hardly exciting, but clean and fresh with no evident off-flavours. Decent enough.

500ml can, courtesy of Knut Albert. Clear, golden body resting on a tall foamy head that is reduced to a filmy layer after a short while. Fresh smell of metallic grass. Wet forest in flavour with metallic notes. Bitter flashes towards the end. Watered mouthfeel (Oslo, 05.04.2008).

Pale lager, canned. Small head. Weak malt and hop aroma. Sweetish grain, flowers. Thin and watery, yes, but surprisingly ok.

Biggish fine-laced lasting white head. Yellow body with carbonation. Light malty aroma with rubbery, hoppy notes. Dry malty taste with floral hop notes. Some rubber and metal. A bit watery. Not bad. Quite clean, and given a little character by the hops. Seems Borg thinks the Swedes are more discerning than Norwegians. (0.5l can from supermarket in Charlottenberg.)

(Can 50 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear, golden with a white head leaving some laces. Neutral aroma with a light touch of malt. Thin body with a little malt and a litte metal before a dry finish. Quite a watery experience. 291007

Can (50 cl) from ICA Focus, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear golden with medium fluffy white head. Clean grainy malt aroma with vague grassy hops. Light in body, ok balance with low bitterness.

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Sweet mostly grainy aroma. Grainy flavour with a light bitterness.

Canned. Brewed in Norway, canned in Sweden according to the info on the can. Golden color, white bubbly head. Malty, papery aroma. Toffe flavor, quite malty and with that terrible hops that only a 3.5 can bring.

500 ml can. Sweedish low alcohol version of a Norwegian budget-pilsener. Nasty starting point...! Snowy white head. Crystal clear, plain golden body. Sweetish grain, and notes of milk caramel to the nose. Simple, sweet grainy taste. No hops, skinny body, sweetish end. Blah...
