Very watery, a little flavour that goes out with a puff. It is beyond me why they call this "Special"!

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 Flaske på Rema. Dyp gylden farge med litt hvit skum. Medium søtlig malt aroma. Smaken er det derimot verre med, lett malt preg med noe innslag av vann og metal.

clear light amber color with a white head olso with nice carbonation - Nice taste of malts and just a hint of bitterness in it - ok beer

0,33 l bottle. ABV 4,7 %. Pours clear dark golden, with a fast diminishing white head.Sweet malty aroma. Watery mouthfeel, some weak malty taste, sweet metallic artificial taste at the end. Bad.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2009 28.02.2009, 0,33l Bottle. The colour is golden amber, white head. Aroma is malty. Body is thin, taste is poor, there is a strange aftertaste that I dont like. (06.09.2003, 0,33l bottle.)

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2009 330 ml bottle. Nice amber body with a descent beige head. Aroma is malt and caramel with traces of hops. Flavor is same as aroma. A bit watery body and pretty one-dimensional. Not bad as a regular macro lager.

330ml bottle. Amber body with great clarity under a low-level ring of foam. Smell of malt with worty hints. Light roasted malty profile with underlying toffee sweetness. (Almost) alright, but nothing special (13.05.2007).

Small white head of small bubbles. Pretty light copper body with a little carbonation. Rubbery, milky, roasty aroma with notes of yeast and wet cardboard. Taste is roasty milky rubber with burnt notes and faint traces of hops. Thin, sharp mouthfeel. Dry, burnt aftertaste with notes of wet cardboard again. Well. It should be possible to do better than this, even with the cheapest ingredients money can buy. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle 0,33l. Pale golden coloured. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy notes. A creamy white head that soon settles to a thin white layer. Oily mouthfeel. Quite thin but you can spot some roasted malt. A modest bitter finish.

Bottle: Clear amber colour, with a nice white head. Aroma of Hay, hops, some malts. Flavor is almost the same, thin body, citic mouth feeling. Short to medium bitter finish.

330 ml bottle. Brilliant clear amber colour. Throws a tall white fluffy head. Refreshing nutty apple and citrus aroma. A little diacetyl. Slightly phenolic flavours. Odd flavours with a little cardboard and vinegar. Clearly aromatic malts in there. Sourish hops and pine flavours. Medium-bodied. Low bitterness. Feels more like a soda than a beer.
