2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
0.5L can from my local Ultra supermarket. Big and dense offwhite head with an yellowish tan. Good laceworks. Copper colored body, brilliant clarity. Moderate but inviting aroma of sweetish, toffee-ish malts. A faint whiff of acidulous fruits and grassy hops. Taste is rather sweet, yet with a certain freshness. Grain and caramel notes. Some barely noticable bittering hops in the backbone. Light to medium body. Light oily mouthfeel. Short, dryish ending. Overall a decent macrolager with good drinkability.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
500 ml can, bought at Vaaland Spesialbutikken, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, big head, slightly off-white. Very moderate aroma, slightly malty, nutty and dusty, hints of caramel. Flavour of a standard lager with some extra caramel malts added, the "dusty" malts dominate the flavour but the beer is not very sweet, fairly dry finish. Moderate hops in the aftertaste. Definitely drinkable, but CB could have come up with something more exciting for their 150th anniversary.
