Aass Lager

Can, what can you do when skiing in Norway and finshed the beers the we brought with us? Works in the sauna do.

Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe corn. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor. Still better than Bud/Coors/Miller light products.

(Can 50 cl) Golden with a nice head - yet surprisingly hazy. Fresh, slightly bitter with an odd tartness coming close to Swedish "Färsk-öl". Canned for the American market. 221203

When I sampled this for the first time, 2 years ago, I declared that I could drink it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now. I was probably trying to get on the good side of the pretty girl who poured it for me, but I was impressed, though I'm an ale man, and I really coouldn't down too many lagers in a row, unless forced to do so... Thin, white bubbly head forms a small ivory ring over a typical lager hue, pale yellow. Aroma greets the nose happily, with dry, floral, citrusy notes, lots of lemon. Highly aromatic from the moment the can is opened. Mouthfeel is straightforward, unintrusive, clean, pleasant. A sweet and happy finish that walks along your tongue, taking it's time. Light body, very tasty. Just what you need in a lager.Excellent on draft, too

From a can, beer pours (in Chimay glass) a very light applejuice (piss, read 'urine')-golden color with virgin-white, small-bubbled head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is of burned wood citrus with straw. Flavor is a slight citrus coverup to straw, and generally bland tasting liquid. Heard great things about this drainpour of yucky yellow beer. So much for celebrating #50. Sampled at 71 degrees Fahrenheit.

Light yellow/straw color. Tiny white head fizzes away. Almost no aroma. After thourougly enjoying the Aass Classic, I was disappointed by this watered down version. Had some straw flavor with some malt, but was too thin. Not much to write this beer just didnt have enough there (wasnt overly carbonated though!). Get Aass Classic if you want a real treat from this brewery.

Color is clear golden yellow with a creamy-like head that was just over a finger high leaving nice sheets of light lacing as it settled. Smell is faintly of a grainy malt thats a tad sweet and has a floral grassy/hay like hop note in the back. Taste is clean and sweet of a lightly roasted malt, held back, tamed crispness thats balanced in well with a hop thats a floral, bittering, piney dryness. Feels smooth and clean, slightly acidic, light to medium bodied with a good hold of light sweetness and piney tang dryness thats very easy to handle. Everything about this beer states balance, balance between sweet, crisp, dry, with smooth, tart, clean, just about all this beer emcompasses in its flavor and feel just makes it a very easy, smooth, and good drinker.

I tasted a full-alcoholic version, so, I cannot call it "watery". It's rather very ordinary lager but quite drinkable with some hops in the finish.
