Sweet cereal grain and flowery aromas. Nice golden color-- looks very clear. Medium bodied, crisp lager. Very tasty and refreshing. Malty sweet flavors backed by flowery, fruity, hop spice. I will drink this again for sure.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2011 Nice golden color, very crisp taste on the tongue. Goes down very smooth, could drink quite a few of these.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a real nice, slightly cloudy amber with a frothy white head that gives nice lacing. Aroma is floral hops and caramel malt with some fruity notes. Taste is sweet caramel malt with some fruit backed up by a nice long dry bitey bitter finish. Really enjoyable Lager.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Having visited the brewery numerous times, this classic is one of my favorites. I love its floral aroma, and particularly the balance between hops and caramel.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a darker Vienna looking lager. Nose is grassy hops and caramel. Taste is really flavoursome for a lager. Fruity floral hops up front, sweet caramel hops and then a dry finish that’s nicely balanced by fruit in the hops.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Vinmonopolet (Vika), Oslo. Deep golden/amber colour, clear. Small offwhite head, settling as a robust film and a little lacing. Aroma is hoppy with caramel and some ’dark citrus’ notes, hint of cardboard. Medium/light body, average carbonation. Nice, mild malt taste, well-balanced hop bitterness, a little watery. Pleasantly mild bitter aftertaste. Good but unspectacular lager.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours thin with a medium Amber very un lager like colour with fluffy light head. on the nose large notes of floral and citrus delightfully enticing, much more that you would usefully expect from a lager. Tastes largely of the hops that you smells with a lovely bitter carbonated kick. The 5.2 abv balences out the malt/hop balance nicely. On the palate it is light with a large flavour profile very little of the "wet corn flake" taste you useilly find in lagers.
Overall this beer is fantastic, I can see why this beer is their flagship brew, could drink a lot of these and still enjoy it on the 4th drink,
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz brown bottle. Best before Nov 2010.
It pours a golden/orange/red color with a modest white head that doesn’t leave much lacing.
It has a decent aroma, it is mildly hoppy with a lot of breadiness.
It tastes pretty fresh, a nice mouthful of noble hops and bread.
It is simple but clean and effective.
