Look: Clear gold with half a finger of white head that quickly dissipates. Small amounts of rising bubbles inside.
Smell: Sweet, biscuity malt with a mild fruitiness from hops.
Taste: Biscuity malt, mild hop bitterness with that same light fruitiness and a lingering bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Smooth body with high carbonation.
Overall: An excellent, refreshing drink.

Golden hues with excellent clarity. Moderate lacing. There’s a fingernail of dishwater white on top. The aroma is of corn. I’m tasting corn and faint grassy hops.

Pours crystal clear and golden, with a good (3/4 finger) snow white head. Retention is good, and lacing is nice.
Classic pils on the nose, without some of the skunky notes that often accompany the style. Grassy and slightly earthy, with sweet cracker notes from the malt.
Flavor follows: nice balanced bite up front, pale grains and peppery hops mingling together quite well; slightly sickly sweet pils malt finish. Doesn't overdo the earthy pungency of some pilsners.
Crisp and lively. A touch sticky on the finish.
If you're a fan of pilsners, this beer should go on your must-try list. It's an excellent and nearly flawless representation of the style.
If you aren't a fan of pilsners - and I fall into this category - this beer isn't going to change your mind on the style. I would not grab this over an IPA, but it's a solid choice to pair with an appropriate meal.

Purchased in a can (Green) in Oslo. Shows an abv of 4.7%, not the 5.5% listed here.
Pours staw-gold color. Excellent starting head that settles relatively slowly. Leaves ample spots of lace on the glass. Crystal clear.
Smells of lighter grains, both malted and unmalted. Mild but floral noble hops in the background.
More hoppy on the tongue, meaning a bit of white pepper. The pale malt is subdued and less creamy than some pilsners, but it seems to work pretty well. If I were to have a criticism, it would be the very high carbonation level--a bit too soda pop for my tastes.

Generally considered the best macro-pilsener in Norway. And it is, by far.
Looks just like a great pilsener should, bright golden, very slightly hazy, beautiful, salt-white lace.
Summery smell, cut grass and barley fields, a little spicy and sour.
Citrusy, peppery complex hops. Not much malt-taste at first, but the aftertaste balances things nicely.
A very satisfying lager indeed! Beautiful in every way, and also among the cheapest here.
