OleR (3658) - Oslo, - SEP 5, 2008
Can. Thin white head, clear golden colored body. Light sweet grain aroma. Lemony notes and a noticeable smell of vegs and grassy hops. Taste is quite miserable; some maltiness though, but harsh with an unpleasant sugary sweetness. Bittering hops with rubber and cardboard notes. Light to medium body. Tart, sourish-bitter ending. Unsignificant.

Ungstrup (23975) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 1, 2010
Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is very sweet with notes of straw. The body is light.

yespr (22205) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUN 9, 2009
50 cL bottle, courtesy Papsoe. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a small white head. Dry, light fruity and vague cornish flavoured. Mild bitter finish. Thin bodied, yet with a decent level of flavour for what it is.

Beer3000 (3114) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUN 3, 2009
500 ml can. Golden body with a fine white head. Weak aroma with just a hint of grain and hay. Flavor is light grainy with a relatively descent bitterness that end up a bit like harsh metallic in the finish. Thin and watery body. A boring pilsner, but actually not the worst of the LITE pilsner I have sampled. Still not exactly the cream of the crap.

bergstaden (500) - Røros, NORWAY - APR 24, 2009
Clear golden with white haed - Taste is not that good, bitterness that is not very plesant, same unplesant bitterness in the finish

KnutAlbert (4613) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 1, 2009
Another pale lager from Grans. Pale golden beer, sweet maltiness. Some bitterness, but not in a pleasant way. Sorry, but this was in no way enjoyable!

yngwie (9201) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 15, 2008
Can. A decent looking beer, with a clear golden body and a coarse, medium sized white head. There’s aroma, but it’s quite faint, with hay, pale malt and a little fruity note. Apple it seems. A weak rubbery touch as well, but in the far back. Rather funny actually, because the beer gets more and more unattractive, chemical and sickly, the more I put my nose into the glass. I’m letting the first impression count though. Feels quite sweet on the palate, with a decent bitterness coming towards the end. It actually feels sticky without being it, and has a slightly artificial touch and flavors of pale malt, hay and a little faint rubber note. Quite watery. Probably not the worst lite beer, but hopefully the Norwegian breweries are finished releasing lite beers now. (080815)
