Brewed by Ægir Bryggeri
Style: Pale Lager
Flåm, Norway

500 ml bottle. Golden. Crystal clear. Delicate nutty malt aroma with notes of oranges. Crisp malty texture. Nicely balanced, and with a nice rich malty flavours. Non-offending, infact much reminiscent of a kölsch. Low carbonation level.

Bottle 0,5l. Golden apricot colored. A creamy lasting white head. Inviting fruity aroma. Low carbonation. Well rounded flavor of sweet fruit. Fruity bitter finish. A real thirst quencher. Unclear last pour. KI=6

Bottle from Fenakroken. Deep golden with a steady head. Grassy hop aroma together with hints of bread and spices. Bready flavours balanced by grassy bitterness, hints of metal. A bit thin and hard. Drinkable, but below the Ægir standard.

50cl bottle from Fenaknoken. Batch 077PAA. It poured a bit hazy yellow colour with a medium big white foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma is malty with notes of grain and some unidentified fruit. The flavour is a bit sweet with notes of malts and grain. It has a short aftertaste. I find it too weak and thin for an easter beer. I hope they boost the ABV next year and go for something more powerful than a pale lager style.

Light yellow with some fizzy head. Smells a bit funky, some vegetables, and something sweet, yet quite uncomfortable. Crisp hop scents beneath this. Something might have been wrong with it. Taste better than it smelled, but not by far. Had a perfume-like character to it. A bit undercarbonated, otherwise alright. Not having this again, I’m afraid. Too bad, their IPA was brilliant.

Bottle. Deep golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grain. Flavour is fruit, malt, grain. Medium body. Ordinary beer.

0,5 l bottle, at Hopheads tasting at Roger´s place - thanks to Trygve. Hazy golden/amber color, moderate white to off-white head. Aroma has sweet malt and some fruit. Flavor is malty, sweet, has hints of fruit and sourness, and has some hoppy bitterness. A bit thin.

Bottle. It pours a slightly hazy, yellowish golden body with a nice off-white head. Pale malt, a little grainy note and a little hint of cooked vegetables, as well as fruityness in the aroma. The flavor is malty and fruity as well, with some grainy notes, and canned tropical fruits. Quite sweetish, with a decent bitterness. Medium body. Grainy and fruity finish. It’s a quite nice beer, takes some time, but it gets better after a few sips. Would like it to have more power though, fuller and at 5.5-6% ABV would probably do much good to it. (080410)
