Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. Is clear with a straw yellow color with a small off-white head. The aroma is slightly sweet with notes of hay, sweet candy and some pale malt and herbs in the end. The taste is very similar but has a higher proportion of spices. Mouth feel is a bit watery and bitterness is light. A little weak and boring golden ale.

Biggish offwhite creamy lasting head. Clear golden body with carbonation. Floral fruity aroma with strawy earthy notes. Dry-sweet strawy earthy fruity taste with floral notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish floral fruity aftertaste with smoky (?!) metallic notes. Nice, drinkable, interesting. Surprised by the smoke, but it does work. (0.5l bottle, Meny Strømmen Storsenter.)

Bottle from Meny Manglerud enjoyed at home
Funny name for a beer. It pours golden with a white head. Smells of grain, malts and some hops. Moderate sweet, some boiled vegetables, spices and malts. Medium bitter, some green hops. Not a very interesting beer at all. The beer contains alot of hops; sadly they are all bitter hops. A small dose of aroma hops would improve this i think

Smells sweet, almost like cotton candy with a hint of metal. Golden, clear color. Taste is almost missing, and the taste that is there is not anything special. A pilzner at best and I don't like pilzners... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From bottle. Clear, dark golden color. Malty, pleasant aromas, with pilsner like malt quite dominant. Unpleasant, metallic aftertaste. It says "continental style beer" on the bottle, so they are probably trying for a pilsner like feel. If so, they succeed well, but not my cup of tea

On bottle from Meny Løren. Golden. Ole, good foam.some fruitiness in aromas, boiled vegetables- light citrus note. Light body & complexity . Some bitterness,. Ok beer

0.5l bottle. Nice label. This one pours a crystal clear golden colored body with a small bubbly just off-white top. Lot’s of grains and hay on the nose. Some green banana and thin caramel. Fair, but not a winner. It’s lively on the carbonation and somewhat watery on the mouthfeel. Oh, boy this did not taste any good at all. Extreme grainy with a soft sour-fruity dusty undertone. Some soft bitterness in the finish and really mouthdrying in the aftertaste. Not a particular good or refreshing beer, but I like label and the name. 20.02.2013

500ml bottle from The Whisky Trail. Amber brown colour, big foamy head. Sour grassy citrus resin grain aroma. Cereal grain malt flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Somewhere between a bitter and golden ale. Not Cairngorm’s finest.

Bottle from Dan Murphy’s. Not too interesting, tastes like an average pilsener to me. Aromas of hay, honey. Taste is sweet, with average length. Palate is oily, and medium bodied. Yellow, with a frothy head.
