1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20Can. Yet another norwegian "rereleased" beer from a brewery earlier bought and closed by Ringnes. Which of course means that this also has a clear yellow color with a very small white head. The little aroma there is is grain and grass, taste is mostly bread and sugar, with an almost unnoticable bitterness to balance it. It is balanced, there just is too little to balance.

This was the main beer of our youth, mainly because it has a very light body, no particular tastes that stands out, and generally low on taste. Can be a good one when it’s really hot in the summer, but now it’s not socially accepted to buy because they moved the production. Not that I would buy it again anyway.

Oppvarming til den store juleøltesten ombord på Fridtjofen: brukt for å minne oss på den tiden da tynn pils var det vanlige og juleøl var en stor begivenhet: tynne saker, ingen humlesmak.

05/08 0.5 l can courtesy of abemorsten, thanks! It poured pale golden body with smaller head. Sweet fruity malt aroma. Flavor was a bit sweet, cabbage, some bread, only a bit of low quality herbal hops that couldn’t have impact on malt at all. Medium bodied with a bit eggy and grainy finish. Boring, low quality beer.

50 cl bottle in Grebbestad. Cleargolden beer with a small offwhite head. A bit hoppy aroma and flavoour. Not much aroma or flavour but still feels refreshing.

Bottle, from a trade with Cunningham. Golden beer with an ok white head. Metal, leather and dust aroma. Watery flavor, spices, metal, quite artificial. I have tried some Norwegian macro lagers the last few days, and some of then has actually been decent. This is not one of them...

Boks 0,5l fra Eide Handel. Delt med vasken. Veldig lys gylden. Medium høyt kremaktig skum som legger seg nesten helt. Svak aroma. Minner om kokt kål med antydning til malt. Lite kullsyre. Vassen smak. Litt søt malt ellers ubestemmelig parfymepreg. Ikke god. Mimring =ON: Her ligger det mye ølhistorie. Både personlig og nasjonalt. Det navnlige opphavet til dette skvipet var ett av mine første ikke-Mack-øl. Slutten av oktober 1969. Første gang rekruttene fra Vatneleiren slapp ut og Stavanger var det selvsagte mål. Her ble de oppsparte dagpengene (kr. 6,50 x 14 dager) omsatt i øl. Dette var i de dager hvor det nesten ikke var mulig å finne annet øl en Tou i Stavanger, Hansa i Bergen, Mack i Tromsø, Dahls i Trondheim o.s.v. Tou - og senere skulle det vise seg Dahls - hadde den foruroligende egenskap at jeg gikk i metning av ølet før den personlige fyllingsgraden hadde nådd ønsket nivå. Vel. Det hadde sine fordeler når gjenget senere på kvelden skulle inn i leira igjen. Refs ble det heller ikke. Nok om det. Etter dette har jo katastrofen inntruffet også her ved at bryggeriet er kjøpt opp og lagt ned og bare navnet er igjen. Er nok ikke i stand til å vurdere ølet jeg drakk i 1969 opp mot dette, men denne klarte jeg ikke en halvliter av en gang. Heldigvis har Stavanger fått Lervig som erstatter så historien har jo endt godt - så langt. Mimring=OFF.
