12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours amber with about a finger of white head. Light aroma of some bready malt and floral hops. Taste is the same, lightly bitter. Medium-light bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. I would drink it again.

Pale gold lasting white head. Slightly hoppy aroma. Its an alright pale lager some hop on finish

In lack of things to do I might as well live rate this one from Kastrup Copenhagen SAS lounge. Taped by my self into a completely standard milk-glass, this one pours a clear golden body with a small quickly fading white lager-head. It smells light grainy and malt sweet. The aroma is as standardized and macro-boring as they get, still no bad aromas. It tastes also quite grainy and dull. Sweet malty with a hint of watered down hops. Not much excitement pumping through my veins drinking this, and not my choice #1 on this national day of Norway, but in lack of alternatives the devil eats flies. Thank you, and farewell. 17.05.2012

Malty, dry, but not very many hops. Drinkable a nice if cold. Just another lager.

Awful, just awful. Lack of body, thin texture, very very poor head... Nothing I would ever recommend!

Bottle. Not a bad pilsener. Like expected, all the usual pilsener hints. Some hops there too. Refreshing. Not bad.

Can at home. Pours a clear straw colour with a small white head. Grassy aroma with some sweet corn. The flavour is slightly acidic with more grass and sweet corn, along with some fruits. Thin and watery mouth feel, but with an okay medium bitterness. Not a very exciting beer.

C’mon people, this beer really deserves some higher overall ratings. Poured a cool engraved green 330mL bottle into a nucleated pint glass. Nice golden-amber color with fluffy white foam which subsided but left a little lace. Overall fairly neutral, but faint aromas of mild malt, freshly cut grains, white bread and pronounced flowery, delicately peppery and musky hops. Like Heineken but crisper; more refined like Stella, but better yet. Despite the green bottle and being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, no oxidation or spoilage problems. Lasting evidence of superior Danish brewing science. Nice subdued and balanced flavor, just a little malt sweetness and hops bitterness. No obvious adjunct faults. Light body, spritzy carbonation, refreshingly dry finish. "Probably the world’s best lager"? Probably not, but a damn good one, and one of my category favorites. Recommended over any American macro.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2012 Can 0,5l - S.C. Carlsrom Beverage Co. S.R.L. Romania. Appearance: Clear golden color with a large white head. Aroma: malt, lemon, grass, corn Taste: light sweetness, lightly sour and a moderate bitter taste Palate: lively carbonation, medium body Overall: a good pale lager. A plus for not being so skunky.

0,5l can and bottle. Can is brewed by Saku, Estonia and bottle in Lithuania. Doesn’t make any difference where its brewed. Same "I-taste-same-in-every-position" story. Less carbonation please.
