330 ml green bottle. Like all Grans beers, it is available only in REMA 1000 stores. Bronze coloured beer, large off-white head. The aroma has notes of malts, caramel and cooked vegetables, hints of spices. Fairly thin mouthfeel, as expected from a 2.4% beer, but the flavour actually has SOME malts and hops, with a slightly sourish finish - so the beer is a little "better" than I feared.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and citrus, lending it a bit of acidity, leading to a bitter and metallic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Pours a clear warm amber golden with a dense off-white and lacing head. Light aroma of roasted malts and nuts. Light body with a discreet acidity, roasted malt accents and a fairly bitter finish. 030608

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden brown to orange with a lacing white head. Mild orange fruity and spiced aroma. Flavour is mild fruity and slight spiced yet somewhat thin and towards watery. Light bitterness into the finish.

330 ml bottle. Dark copper colour. Crystal clear. Tall coarse white persistent head. Dish water detergent and floral hop aroma. Rounded bready and toffee-like malt flavours. Light, but not as light as I had expected. Nice cake-like dark flavours. Hints of caramel, melanoidins and wheat. Finish is dry, but with little bitternes.

Bottle. Golden brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, malt, caramel. Flavour is fruit, yeast, caramel. Thin beer.

330ml bottle that pours a nice mahogany body with great clarity topped by an one-finger, beige head. Bland vegetables in smell and taste. The taste also brings notes of sour roasted grain. Light, watered and thin palate (sampled at home with Eva, 23.12.2007).

Lovely color, fine head, but the beer is disappointing. The typical Grans profile of yeast and boiled vegetables.Avoid.

330 ml bottle. Quickly diminishing thin beige head. Clear copper-brown colored body with noisy carbonation. Sweet grainy and sugery aroma. Whiffs of caramel, cardboard and well cooked cauliflower. Medium sweet grainy taste. Some unrefind hops detected. Weak body. Unfresh mouthfeel. Short sourish end. Unimpressive.

Bottle. Pours a clear, copper-colored, carbonating body with a small, dense, beige head. Distinct aroma of cooked vegetables, with a lightly roasted, caramelly background. Grainy, slightly sugary flavor with caramel and some weak hoppyness. Watery, quite fizzy mouthfeel, and a sweetish finish with caramel and cooked vegetables. Some sourness as well. Definately not suited for Christmas. Not suited for anything, in fact. No way I’m finishing the bottle. (071209)
