Their "premium" beers don’t taste much, so it was no surprise to find that their ice beer was tasteless. If you don’t like beer, or like American mainstream beers, this is for you. Thin, watery.

27.03.2004, 0,5l Can. God og rund pilsneraktig øl med fin smak og ettersmak. Til Grans å være er den ganske balansert og den er både frisk og aromatisk.

500ml can. Pale golden. White cap that lasts for a couple of minutes. Citric aroma with metallic smell. Clean, but vague fruity taste of lemon and orange. Finish off with a little bitter tingle. Thin to medium palate (13.05.2007).

Small white head. Pale yellow body. Faint caramelly malty aroma with notes of grass. Taste is caramelly malts with dry grassy notes. Aftertaste is dry caramel and wet cardboard. Could be worse. (0.5l can.)

Can. Clear pale golden. Tiny head gone in five seconds. Grainy aroma with a light sweetness. Taste is next to nothing, a little malts and a minimum of hopbitterness. Low carbonation, thin mouthfeel, superlight body. "Ice Beer" my ass!

Yellow, small white head. Weak sugary aroma. Sweet, dugary flavor. No finish except some strange bitterness.

500 ml can. Crystal clear light golden coloured. Medium-sized fine-laced white head. Fruity aromas with peach and lemon. Light-bodied with a thin texture. Watery mouthfeel. Very little flavour. Some of the peach come through in the flavours as well, but outside of that there is very little. And no malts, mostly water. Very light bitterness, seemingly from harsh bittering hops. Drying plump finish. Meaningless beer.

Canned, light and nice beer, little fruity very good , balanced and a beer I can drink alot of.

500 ml can. Pale golden colour, moderate head. Weak sweetish aroma, hints of candy. Minimal flavour, some malts and the usual Grans over-boiled vegetables / wet cardboard notes. Hardly any hops. Another sad Norwegian "ice beer".

Can. One month past BB-date. Pale golden with a small white head. The aroma is grassy and slightly flowery, but the taste is almost totally missing. Just a hint of malt and hops, with a watery body and some bitterness in the finish. (060414)
