33cl bottle. Pours golden color with hint of red, very small white head. Sourness and bitterness, hops and malts. OK, but wouldn’t buy again,

Clear golden colour. Tiny white head. Interesting bitter-sour aroma nwith sweet undertones. Medium bitter taste with a very pleasant, spicy palate. Good one.

330ml bottle. Pours a small white head. Good carbonation. Some redness in there for the color. Aroma of malt, hops, hint of woodwork. Taste of malt and grain. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From a bottle, a little bit of that cabbage aroma. Looks good in the glass nice sparkling appearance with a foamy white head. Date code 11/11. First taste is rather crisp with a tad of that old lager flavor. Not bad but it does have some of that medicinal feel to it, fer sure you can tell its over 5% abv. Smell goes somewhat metallic in the glass. Pretty good co2. Not as good as I was expecting, needs more manners. I bet this stuff tastes much better when fresh. Will try again sometime. I’ve tasted american lagers that where much better than this.

Bottle at the Iberian Pig. Not much of an aroma, nice golden appearance. Nice crisp, lightly bitter taste. I really liked this beer. It was a nice accompaniment to our tapas.

Bottle 33 cl. Light golden with a white ehad. Malt and hops, malt and hops and malt and hops

Bottle. ABV 4,7. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grain, grass. Flavour is fruit, malt, grass, grain, hint of hop. Boring beer.

Biggish offwhite head. Clear yellow body with carbonation. Grassy herbal aroma with papery notes. Sweetish grainy papery taste with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish, slightly harsh mouthfeel. Dryish dusty cardboard aftertaste with grassy notes. It’s not really bad, but it’s not good, either. (0.33l bottle, Rimi Østre Strøm, Rælingen.)

33cl Draught. Appearance is clear golden color with medium off-white head. Aroma is weak with some grainy malt and grass. Taste is corresponding. Lots of good lat flavor relatively for a macro-type lager, mild hop bite, grass and grain favors. Palate is light- to medium-bodied, slight thin texture, dry finish. Decent beer for the style.

330 ml bottle. Heavier malt and hops, and in general more tasty than the Estrella. The minimal foam head is kind of disappointing, not really eye-catching.
