Aass Sommerøl Lite

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Pale Lager
Drammen, Norway

500 ml can. Pale golden colour. White creamy head. High carbonation level with lots of bubbles rising to the top. Crisp citrusy hop aroma. Notes of pine. Crisp malt flavour with grainy notes. Powdery texture and a prickly sensation from the hops. Light bodied. Very refreshing and delicate. Reminds me of a kölsch. Did not have high hopes for this beer, but I kind of like it.

50 cL can. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild butterish and crisp hoppy aroma. Bitter and mild butterish flavoured. Mild cornish touch. Ends dry and bitter.

Clear medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lancing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, grain, honey. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (060608)

Can. It pours a quite pale golden body under a decent white head. Mostly grainy and malty on the nose, but there’s also a fruity touch, apple and a little lime. Quite dry in the mouth, medium to thin body, with flavors of pale malt, grains dominating, but there’s a hoppy fruityness coming stronger towards the end. Decent bitterness. I’m not sure what happens when the beer warms up, I drank it from the fridge, and then it did the job as a quencher or lawnmower beer. A decent lite beer it is. (080525)

Big white fine-bubbled lasting head. Yellow body with carbonation. Clean, rather neutral malty aroma with apple notes. Dry malty apple aroma with papery notes. Smooth clean mouthfeel. Dry cardboard and corn aftertaste with metallic notes. Faint sweetness with quite a lot of butter (when warmer). Could be worse. (0.5l can, Meny, Oslo.)

Can 50 cl. Courtesy of yngwie. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Very discreet malt aroma. Medium body, very sweet malt and brewing cereal. Basically no bitterness. 210309

500 ml can. Clear golden body with a big white head. Aroma is mild grain and fruity. Flavor is rather fruity (apple and citrus) with some malt and certain bitterness. Surprisingly OK at the first sip, then some kind of annoying artificial subflavour is noticed. This flavor isn’t really bad, just reducing the surprisingly positive first impression by a few pints. Not the worst low cab beer at all.

Courtesy of Yngwie. It’s golden with a dense, white head. The aroma has notes of wet grain, but surprisingly also with hints of flower and honey. The flavour destroys the nice surprise by starting out with notes of cabbage water and a light bitterness. I als get notes of wet grain and light hints of flower. It’s weak, but not nearly as bad as the some of the really bad low-carbs.
