(500 ml can). Norwegian "summer beers" are the work of the devil! While their ordinary pilseners are summer beers good enough, every brewery, of some reason, now makes a lighter and blander version for the summer months. The one from Mack is not the worst of its kind, but that doesn't mean it's a good beer. Typical pilsener colour (not as extremely light coloured as the ones from some other breweries), very good head, weak flowery aroma, weak grassy flavour (as far as there is any flavour at all), low bitterness. This is for the target group who wants an ice cold thirstquencher without much taste.

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2012 Can. Yellow colour with a white head. Sunny summer nose....almost no aroma. Very light malt flavour.

Pale, big head. Smells of malts, hints of grass. Thin body, dry feel. Nice bitter finish

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2011 Very low on taste and aroma, but hints of fruits, quite carbonated. Very clear, golden colour, white head. (Can)

Sigmund shared this 0,5 l can at a local tasting. White, creamy, short lived head on a clear, pale, straw golden body. Light sugary aroma. Light sweet, bitter flavors with grain notes. Light body. Watery.

Can, thanks to Sigmund. Pours pale straw coloured with a thin white head, almost no aroma and taste, but some noticeable sweet grainy malts, thats it.

500ml can. Clear white head and a clear golden beer. Hardly any smell but is fresh with a hint of citrus/lemon. Not much aftertaste. Nice beer on a hot summer day though (hence the name).
