Comes in a 500 ml can with a flashy and kitchy artwork, obviously with the intention to tempt the alco-pop generation. It might well do: This beer smells sweet; suger, sweet bakery, with a faint whiff of fruity-sweetness in the aroma. Sweet and grainy taste. Modest hopbitterness, some noteable bitterness blends with the sweetness towards the end. Body is light plus. Cloying mouthfeel. Boring and unbalanced.

21.08.2007, 0,5l Can. This beer comes in a series of cans with different designs. But that does not make the beer any better. Arioma is week malty and there is not to much bitternes either.

Can. Clear yellow colour, white head. aroma of gras, hay,sweet maltynes, and some hints of bitternes in the end. Flavor is weery sweet smouth feeling, thin body, and short finish.

500ml can (bb.02.08.08).Thin strip of white foam over a pale golden body. Sweet aroma mixed with grass. Sweet water flavour with grainy hints. Vague bitter ending. Moderate carbonation (thanks to Finn A. for sharing, 03.08.2008).

Canned. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw, and so is the flavor with a light note of metal added, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Can 50 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear golden with a small, white head. Aroma of brewing cereal. Medium body, lightly malty, some brewing cereal and a whiff of flowers. Dry and lightly bitter finish. A decent Pale Lager. 080408

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with light malty notes. Sweet flavor with fruity and grainy notes.

50 cL can. Pours clear and golden with a fully diminished white head. Dry hoppy and ligt grassy aroma. Flavour is dry cornish and mild malty. Finish is dry malty with a light spice note. Bland.

50 cl can. Clear golden color. Fast disappering white head. Not very pleasant aroma of malt. Flavor is sweet malt and some bitterness. Thin. PS. This can has this «funny» text: Bilfri by. Fred på jord. Nei til global opp varming. I´m not going to translate this.

Can 0,5l. Bright yellowish color. A white head that lasted for a few minutes. Some malt in the nose. Tastes like water with a modest bitter aftertaste..

500 ml can. Golden colour. Clear. Small fine-laced head that clings to the glass. Peppery aroma. Light malty notes. Low carbonation level. Light malt flavours. Little hop flavours to be found. Same can be said about the hop bitterness. There is almost none. Very much an industrial bland pale lager. Its nice if you don’t like the taste of beer.
