MartinT (4374), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 1, 2003 Pleasant, dry grass Saazness shies away into the watery transparence of commercialism...Sharp hay beneath a choking soda-like costume...Vapid in the cold, almost turpid in the household...
TBone (5115), Pori, Finland Oct 4, 2008 (Can, BB 01/2009, alc. 4.7%).
"Original pilsner". Pale yellow color, decent white head. Grassy hoppy raw apple aroma. Fizzy carbonation. Saaz-hoppy flavor with harsh papery maltyness and thin body. At least this is hoppy enough for being called "pilsener". oh6gdx (6332), Vaasa, Finland Oct 4, 2008 Canned (ABV 4.7%, thanks yngwie). Golden colour, mediumsized white fluffy head, some slight lace. Aroma is melted rubber/plastic along with some hops and malts. Flavour is harsh rubbery grass along with some mild unpleasant earthy notes. Harsh. Rune_Stumo (103), FØRRESFJORDEN, Norway Aug 22, 2008 22.08.2008, 0,5l Can. Pale yellow colour. Aroma is weak and the texture is thin. The beer is lively carbonated with a white lasting head. Some bitternes in the aftertaste. NosirIwont (874), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. 4.7%. Pours straw yellow with a diminishing white head. Small lacing. Sweetish, slightly hoppy cereal aroma. Flavour is sweet. Hops and cereals. Lingering, mild hop bitterness. A decent industrial lager. 11-07-08. Gr0ve (1113), Oslo, Norway Mar 11, 2008 500 ml can. Golden colour. Crystal clear. Tall white fine-laced head. Citrusy and floral hop aroma. Crisp hop flavours and a delicious light malty flavour upfront. Refreshing carbonation balances the hop bitterness. Light-bodied. Perfectly balanced. Definitely one of the best Norwegian pilseners.
