Papsoe (11076), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 13, 2007 (Can 50 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Pours a clear, pale golden with a tiny, white head. Discreet malt aroma. Very thin-bodied with a heavy carbonation. Weak accents of malt and a light edge of cardboard. Subdued bitterness. An easy drink without any major flaws. 101007 OleR (1380), Oslo, Norway Mar 29, 2007 Can. Almost as pale as it get for a lager. Mostly diminishing medium-sized white head . Aroma is perfumed sweet cereal and some vague notes of citric hops. Taste is watered down, quite dry and grainy. Not worse than expected from a LIDL contract beer. tykjen (183), Florø, Norway Jan 13, 2007 Very pale but with some sediments floating round. Watery throughout. No off-flavours, but hardly any flavour att all. larsga (2448), Oslo, Norway Sep 24, 2006 Big shiny white coarse head over pale yellow body with fast carbonation. Faint grainy, rubbery aroma with notes of apple, with something of an unpleasant edge to it. Taste is clean, bitter dry straw with notes of rubber and paper. Dry, papery taste lingers. Very watery and lacking in body. I can’t quite make my mind up about this one; it has some things that feel like off tastes, but on the other hand it seems pretty clean. The sharpness of the bitterness makes it difficult to like, though. Overall, I think the thumb is down. (0.5l can.) Gr0ve (1123), Oslo, Norway Aug 30, 2006 500 ml can. Crystal clear yellowish golden. Throws a medium-sized coarse white head. Clean and lightly sweet grainy aroma with sweet citrus. Light-bodied with a watery texture. Very little body. Dry mouthfeel with a hoppy background. Finishes watery and slightly dry. Not much to report about except the lack of aroma and flavour.
