RuneStumo (495), FØRRESFJORDEN, Norway Aug 14, 2009 03.09.2004, 0,33l Bottle. golden colour. Aroma is malty. Nice bitterness with a little sweetness. Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Jan 28, 2009 330 ml bottle. Golden body with a medium white head. Weak aroma of malt and grain. Flavor is weak malty, a bit fruity and almost descent bitterness. Quite similar to the ordinary Aass Pilsner, just a little bit sweeter malt flavor. omhper (12153), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 10, 2004 Updated: Dec 27, 2004Bottled. Golden colour, average head. Sweet and soft, lightly grassy. No extravaganzas on the 170th birthday it seems. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Mar 29, 2004 Bottle pours light straw with a large frothy white head.   Decent carbonation, decent lacing.   Aroma is of straw and weak malts.   A tad bit musty too.   Flavor is quite weak, a tad sweet, mild malts.   Not crisp, a minor hint of sweetness.   Finish falls flat, jumps ship rather quickly.   For a 170<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Ale, I would have expected a bit more.
