the new box is very nice but I liked more the old one with the ice beer from the 90’s,tromsø where the beer comes from is very nice city to taste it, hope they start to export it to the world...

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful it looks in it’s clear bottle with two cute puffins on the label. Amazingly nice hoppy scent and the hops continue all the way through to the aroma. The bitterness is rather subdued yet present. Soft, slightly watery with a huge head. Unique in it’s freshness. 170201

Medium white coarse-laced head; yellow body. Clean, light malty aroma with some floral hops. Acidic, clean taste of light malts with dry, floral hops aftertaste. Hops grow more pronounced as the beer warms. Not bad.

On tap in Olhallen, Tromso. Clear pale gold beer, tidy white head. Light dry palate. Dry pale malt, a little papery. A little tangerine citrus livens things up. Semi dry finish. Okay.

Can 50 CL. Apperance; Light golden, clear with a minimal white head. Aroma, Light sweet, hoppy and a sence of lemon. The flavor continues light sweet and hoppy. A beer with not too much flavor, but a nice and refreshing beer.

0.33l can. Pours a clear light unfiltered pale golden body with a small white head. Aroma is light malty with hints of lemony-hops, something floral and biscuits - or perhaps it’s just some butter. Lively carbonation level, oily texture and medium to light bodied. Flavors are also light malty with notes of lemon, flower-water and hops. Not that bad for a pale lager. Can’t find a single bad flavor, but it’s definitely not to exciting either. Drinkable lager.

Canned. very positiv beer, with nice aroma, and fruity flavour. I could drink alot of this beer :-)

Can from Rune drunk at home. Cheers Rune you are a star. Very pale gold clear, with thin collar of white bubbles. Some cereal on aroma, and very thin touch of lemon. It’s a pale lager. Some lemonyness on the finish. It’s not terrible, in fact as a pale lager I think its pretty good. Refreshing enough and worked well as an aperatif as i was cooking.

Less pronounced malt than their standard pilsener - more balanced. Light malt, light hops, nice colour. Not unlike a Dahls pils, and they have a geographical area where they compete strongly.

500 ml can. Pale golden colour. Crystal clear. Medium-sized fluffy white head that clings to the glass. Crisp floral hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Mild malt flavours dominated by a crisp hop flavour. Light-bodied, and could have used a lot more body. Finishes with a dry powdery hop bitterness. Bland, but works nicely on a hot summer day.
