A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sour - probably from the use of brewing cereal combined with notes of straw. The flavor is malty and sour from brewing cereal with notes of straw in the end.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 Bottle. Yellow colour with a white heat. Yeah supriiiiise... Moderate hoppy and malty aroma and flavour. Not bad, not good

18.04.2004. 0,5l can. Godt, fyldig øl med bitterhet og ettersmak. Mangler kanskje litt karakter

Canned at Lorden Pub, Flåm. Yellow coloured. Unclean sourish aroma and flavour with unpleasant notes of cardboard. Thin and very bad.

500ml can. Golden body with a descent white head. Moderate grainy aroma. Flavor is rather mild, sweet malty, some bitterness and quite well balanced. A middle of the road OK, but boring pilsner.

50 cl can. Golden color, nice withe head. Sweet malt, good bitterness, dry aftertaste.

Can 0,5l. Golden coloured. A bit unclear(?). A large fluffy head lasting for a couple of minutes. Modest aroma with hints of hay and perfume. Flavor of burned malt with some fruit. Dry bitter aftertaste.

500ml can as a partner to chicken food at home. Golden body with a fast fading white head. Fresh aroma of grain. Fruity flavour containing green apples and lemon supported by vague hoppy hints and a brush of sweetness. Short finish and a rather metallic mouthfeel. Absolutly not the worst of its kind in Norway (23.03.2007).

Can in Oslo. A nice lager with sweet, honey scent. Yellow color. Malty taste with sweetness thrown in. Bitter finish.
