| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | May 20, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Plain malty beer with a rocky, slightly yellow head over an orange-brown body. Fugacious foam. Bready malts to the nose followed by a taste of herbs, wet forest and suggestions of earthy malts. Rather strange flavour and a bit vapid (Tromsø, 10.05.2008). DSG (1514), Tel Aviv, Israel
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 14, 2008 Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Clear amber with a medium, quickly-diminishing beige head. Aroma of toasted malt, some caramel, light fruitiness and hoppy hints. Sweetish malty flavor, rather toasty, with nutty hints and a pretty bitter finish with nice hoppiness. Medium-bodied. Not bad. MatSciGuy (639), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 26, 2008 Shared by Akevitt. Orange color. Little carbonation. Light malt flavor and standard lager aroma. Some bread flavor as well. Too light, even for the style. OSLO (828), Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 26, 2008 [Bottle, thanks BDR and Akevitt] Pours reddish-amber with a small head. The aroma was lacking a bit with just a fair amount of malt present. The taste is grainy and what I would describe as sort of musty maltiness. Medium mouthfeel with a somewhat short finish. A fairly forgettable beer that didn’t set itself apart in any way.
