Clear golden color low white head. Thin caramel aroma and taste. Easy drinkable.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 Flaske fra Rema. Lysegul farge med hvitt skum. Lett humlepreg med innslag av malt. Smaken er også "tynn", lett humlepreg. Om det er 30 varme så ok, hvis ikke er det bare å holde seg unna.

Oh dear. Every time I figure I’ve gone through the whole lot of the "summer seasonals" from Norway, I stumble upon yet another variant. Grans Sommerøl pours a very ordinary pale lager body, with a somewhat slightly longer lasting top than most of its contemporaries. Smell is vague pilsener malts. Taste is light malts with some hops, pretty ok balanced. Some metallic hints in the aftertaste, but otherwise quite a regular "summer beer". It is, however, to be noted that all of these seasonals from the Norwegian store market are kinda crap to begin with.

Bottle 330ml. clear glass @ home.

[ Trade by yngwie ]. Clear light to medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, cereal, cardboard, cabbage water. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long to average duration, cabbage water, butter. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20100520]

Bottled (thanks TM!). Pale golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is urine, grains, earth and melted rubber. Flavour is rather sweet malts, with almost sugary notes. Also some cooked vegetables.

Clear golden with white head - not much taste, usual summer lager - boring but ok when hot outside

Bottle: Clear yellow colour, white thin head. Aroma of gras, grainy,sweet maltynes and vegetable. Flavor is thin sweet malty mouth feeling,short finish.

Bottle 33 Cl. Apperance; light golden, clear with a ok white head. The aroma and flavor is sweet malty with a light bitter ending. Nothing special.

UPDATED: MAY 27, 2009 27.05.2009, 0,33l Bottle. Pale yellow colour. Tastes very little. Lacks freshness and body. This beer also have the typical "Grans taste". First rating 16.08.2003.

33 cl bottle. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma is bad, bad, bad. Flavor has hints of malt, but nothing else - close to bad taste. This is one of the worst beers I´ve tasted!
