UPDATED: FEB 5, 2005 This one is a classic. Not very hoppy. Mostly water and malt. A classic discount 80-ties beer.

Yellow colour. Small fizzy head. Plain boring aroma. Notes of vegetables. Fizzy mouthfeel. Notes of corn. Very watery finish.

500 ml can, bought in Norway. ABV is 4,6%. I suspect Harboe Pilsner and Harboe Premium (Premium Pilsner) is really the same beer, with just a slight change of ABV depending on where it's sold. This is just another yellow fizzy beer, low head, little aroma, some corn sweetness and a touch of metallic bitterness. Quite uninteresting.

This is very weak and watery. No aroma. Some sour strongly carbonated flavor. Nothing like hops, malt or other features compareable to beer.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Thin quick diminishing head. Not much going on in the nose. Some malt and some sweetness. Light hoppy flavour. Some vague bitterness in the end. Bland and uninteresting.

Sweet cornlike nose, pale yellow color, foamy head. Light citrusy malt body, negligible hop end. Thin and watery.

aijeija - uuuuuhhh - I compare it to somebody tries to drown you in a bathtub filled with canned corn water .canned cornwater in the nose and also in the mouth that's the feeling by drinking this beer.

A quite bad and cheap beer, even compared to most Swedish discount lagers.

Golden color with a frothy head. Slight sour aroma. Mild palate. Not so bad compared to the average Danish lagers.
