| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2002 This is a Vienna-style brew. Also it’s probably my favorite lager. A nice amber appearance. Nose is a mix of fruit (apples mostly) malt and a whif of spice. Very smooth and drinkable. Cost is the only negative it’s over $12 per six pack where I live.
Re-Rate: I have to drop the numbers just a bit. It’s hard to rate a lager (albiet, a very good one) at a 4.0 or above. Another RE-RATE: I am growing tired of this beer despite really liking it intially. Now I find it lacking a bit in flavor. Dougal (130), Escondido, California, USA
| 0.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Sep 18, 2002 For a lager, it isn’t that great, even for a Vienna Style lager. This is certainly not the best Norway has to offer and I would recommend against seeking this light malt, skunk nosed brew out. Seek out their Bock. beerguy101 (3940), Newark, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 19, 2002 A very good lager beer. Very flavorful, enjoyable and smooth to the last drop. I recommend it to anyone who likes beers that are a little on the normal side. Great aroma to boot. RAUCHFEST (122), PROSPECT PARK, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 27, 2002 rating this as what they use to call there dortmund style with the dude on the label (founder)smokink a pipe. this is (was) a excellent dortmund full of malt and just enough hops i have not tried it lately ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 12, 2002 This beer blew my expectations away. A beer I buy often. Wonderfully complex nose, fruity and rich hop notes with a very generous, pleasing body. It is crisp and yet not ’just another lager’. Sigmund (2286), Hafrsfjord, Norway
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2002 ABV in Norway is 4,5%. I’m sure the (slightly stronger) export version is even better, if you get it fresh. This beer is basically a pilsener (Saaz hops), but brewed with a certain amount of Munich malts to give it some of the rounded flavour of a Munich dunkel. Not a bad marriage, I’d say.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2002 Is this a Vienna style lager?
Its malty, with both a sweet aroma, caramel color and flavor. Virtually no bitterness. I drank it down rather quickly - and would be happy to have more (too bad I bought only one)!
