Aug 14, 2008 330 ml bottle, brewerd by HansaBorg in Norway.
Pale and bland, with cardboard the most prominent element. No hops were hunt in the production of this beer.

Aug 12, 2008 330 ml bottle, 4,5% abv. Norwegian version as Pokal Lys Pilsner. Shiny white head with short duration. Pale yellow-golden, highly carbonated body. Low aroma level; dry grainy and light grassy. Taste is crisp and fairly dry, but leave no flavors to speak of, except for a faint grainy and fruity note. Light body. Noticeable bitterness in the finish. Drinkable, but utterly boring.
Stefano (977), Esbjerg, Denmark
Aug 2, 2008 Pours golden yellow with a frothing white head. Sweet corn aroma. Sweet and malty flavor. A bit of bitterness into the finish. Short finish. Boring beer.

Jul 31, 2008 330 ml bottle, bought at Coop Obs, Stavanger, as Pokal Lys Pilsner, contract brewed in Norway for Coop Trading A/S, Denmark. Brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot. ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, big head. Sweetish typical industrial pale lager aroma, some fruitiness. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is fairly boring as expected, but not offensive, and there are at least some notes of pilsener malts. Very moderate hops. Easy drinking, and as the price in Norway so far is very moderate too (as moderate as our alcohol taxes allow), I expect Pokal to sell well to beer drinkers more concerned with quantity and low prices rather than quality.
