Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Full pint at the brewpub. Unclean, but still shiny, golden body. Thin, white layer. Fresh smell of caramel malts. Hay, grass and lemon in flavour mixed with gentle malts. Rounded bittersweet ending. Typical foamy malt-hoppy house taste. First of all very refreshing (Oslo, 19.10.2010).

On tap at brewpub. Golden hazy color as expected, quite subtitle aroma, nothing special about the taste, but it lasts a long time. An ok beer, but nothing to come back for.

From tap@OMB. Copper colored, thin greyish head. Smells clean, light bready. Notes of papery hops. Gently sweet and rounded malt body. Some subtle fruit tones, and a fine grassy bitternes to balance. Soft, sparkling mouthfeel. Rounded malty and light bitter finish. Good stuff, a balanced and reliable Festbier.

Dark gold, malty nose. Nice cereal flavour, like chewing fresh barley. Pleasant grassy hops. True to type. Not terribly sophisticated, but a fresh, honest lager. A promising move for OMB.

On tap @ brewery. Pours ruby/golden with a small white head. Aroma of hay, slightly malts as well.Lots of carbonation, taste of well roasted malts, caramel and also a hoppy end as well
