Bottle 0.33L.
Golden body, with an average white head, fully diminishing with a fair lacing.
Light malty aroma balanced by hoppy notes (flowers and citrus).
Moderate bitter flavour.
Light-to-medium body with a watery texture; medium carbonation; light metallic feeling in the finish.

February 2003: A middle-of-the-road pilsener / lager from the world's northernmost brewery.
Rerate: Typical pils golden colour, slightly darker than Mack Arctic Beer. Good head, fairly malty aroma for a pils, malty sweetness in the flavour, moderate bitterness. Just another pils, really.

Had a pint on tap at a bar last night, the whole place reeked of it.
A: No head at all
S: Smells of alcohol and fresh bread, gets really sickening after a while
T: tastes mostly of carbonation and a bit bready
D: gets really boring quickly, gave it away after drinking half of it

I shared a .5 liter can in at a bar in Oslo. They had many imported beers mostly from Europe but, also a few American micro-brews. Since, I live in Costa Rica I don't get a chance to try different beers so it was nice to have something new.
The first things I noticed was the appearance, it had a bright yellow look and it was very carbonated which I had never seen before. The head was more than two fingers. The nose was musty so, I didn't spend much time smelling it. The taste was average again on the musty side. I did like the feel though, thicker than most pilsners. It didn't taste bad overall however, I decided to chug it and have something else since there were so many good options. I wouldn't recommend it.

Pours a clear golden color with one finger of bright white frothy head. There is good retention and some lacing. The smell has a little hop spiciness, and a light malt profile. The taste is ok. Malty tones, kind of nutty, but not much else. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. Low carbonation is also disappointing. Drinkability is moderate. Low alcohol and mild flavor make for easy consumption, but lack of flavor is discouraging.
