Aass Halling

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Pilsener
Drammen, Norway

Huge offwhite creamy head with some lace. Light copper body. Very little aroma. Maybe a little grain. Clean, light, malty taste, with some caramel and watery grain. Faintly grassy hop background. Aftertaste is slight bitterness with a touch of grass. A decent effort, but it’s not clear why they bother. The design of the can is the most distinctive thing about this beer. (0.5l can.)

(Can 50 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear, pilsener golden with a white head leaving some laces. Sweetish, malty nose. Medium body woth a solid, sweet, malt base. Some floral touches and a lightly bitter finish. But quite decent. 091007

500ml can. Light golden color. Full egg-white head. Average, fruity aroma. Short bitterness in aftertaste. Not to bad, but not very special. Might buy it again though...

Bottled. Pale golden, rich head. Fruity and rounded. Aass pleasant, firm malt character is there, but too little of it. Some acidity, low bitterness.

330 ml bottle. Deep golden colour. Medium-sized white coarse head. Lots of large bubbles rising towards the surface. Rounded nutty malts. Crisp floral hops. Smooth texture, but still a quite high carbonation level. Medium-bodied. Grainy watery flavours in the finish. Light bitterness in the aftertaste. Very drinkable as it is not too light and does have a little flavour. For a pilsener this one is decent.

(5oo ml can) Pours a large, cramy, white head and a highly-carbonated, golden body. Slight metallic nose blends with malt. Fruity malt flavour with a slight lactic finish. Average.

330 ml bottle. Golden body with decent white head. Weak aroma of malt and some citric fruitiness. Flavor is light, sweet malt, a bit fruity and traces of hops. Thin body and short finish.

03.01.2004, 0,33l Bottle. Pale yellow colour. The beer is refreshing and tastes ok. Aroma is malty with a nice sweet bitterness.
