A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty and the flavor is sweet with light notes of alcohol and malt.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 23, 2005
(Bottle 25 cl) Fully golden, very small head. Some malt in the flavour, but primarily dry and quite hoppy. Some late sweetness. The name "1516" is a reference to the year of the German "Reinheitsgebot" hence this is an all-malt beer. 250505

oh6gdx (18576) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 2, 2008
Bottled. Pale yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white creamy/fluffy head. Aroma is grassy, grainy and hayish with some mild rubbery notes. Flavour is the same with a harsh bitterness coming in the finish. Aftertaste is grainy and hayish.

omhper (17478) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 22, 2003
Canned. Orange colour, coarse head. Corn aroma. Sweet, mellow and fruity. Soapy finish. I'd guess that 1516 represents the best-by date.

fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - MAR 8, 2005
Can
Blond color; creamy head. Very light aroma; the taste is maltier than usual, and of course the final bitterness quite long.

cgarvieuk (11024) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - APR 24, 2007
a golden coloured brew with a light lager hop nose and again a fairly standard mass market lager.

yngwie (10761) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 20, 2008
Bottle, thx to Tarjei. Pours a pale golden body with a minimal white head. Quite fruity on the nose, with yellow apples and a touch of tropical fruits. Some grains and a little lemon too. Malty flavor with yellow apples and some hoppy bitterness. Thin body. Slightly papery and cellar-like in the finish, due to it soon reacing BB-date? There’s also some fruits and a decent bitterness in the finish. A really boring beer, but not foul. (080720)

faroeviking (10300) - FAROE ISLANDS - MAY 22, 2007
Bottle. Dark golden colour with an average lasting bubbly head. Plenty of malt in the aroma. Bit sweet flavor, malty and quite bitter actually, which sticks a bit in the aftertaste. If only the beer was as nice as the label.
