I did not appreciate much the flavour and aftertaste of this one. Found nothing 'creamy' about it. Lacks the hoppy freshness of other Norwegian pilsners.

330 ml green bottle. Amber coloured, large off-white head. Weak aroma with hints of berries (incl. juniper berries?) and boiled vegetables. Flavour has very moderate malts and hops (and possibly bog myrtle), notes of caramel but not very sweet. Thin and faintly sourish mouthfeel. A very boring beer, but not offensive.

500 ml can, as Holsten Premium Lager. ABV is 5.0%. Golden colour, moderate head. Standard pale lager aroma, grassy notes. Flavour has first some sweetness, then a certain bitterness takes over, metallic notes. Not a great beer by any means, but as international pale lagers go: I’ve had worse.

375 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.2%. Clear signal red colour, moderate to small off-white to pink head. Aroma of sour cherries, solvent, almonds and detergent. Thin mouthfeel. Dry flavour with notes of sour cherries, cherry kernels, solvent and bittering hops. Not a beer for me. Apparently the impossible takes more than week.

On tap at Cardinal. Golden colour, small white head. Weak aroma, hints of artificial mango and peach essence. The flavour is not very sour, nor very sweet, but has again artificial notes of peach and mango essence. Not great.

July 2013: 500 ml can, a treat from a neighbour. Golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma with some grassy and herbal hops. The flavour is a bit too sweet for a pilsener, but there are still enough hops around to make the beer drinkable.

500 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet Norheimsund. ABV is 5.6%. Clear golden colour, moderate to small white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and floral hops, a faint hint of smoked sausage. The flavour has the same elements, low bitterness.

330 ml can, probably from Vinmonopolet Norheimsund. ABV is 5.4%. Deep red to purple colour, hazy, large to moderate pink head. Aroma of over-ripe berries ("fruits of the forest"), lactic acid and lactose. Very sweet flavour, lactose galore (overkill), also lactic acid and loads of said berries. Won't buy again.

Aug. 2010: 330 ml bottle, bought at Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 8%, brewed by Het Anker. Very pale yellow colour, hazy in the end, huge white head. The aroma has notes of "Green Apples Shampoo", Belgian ale yeast and spices. The flavour is fairly refreshing for its strength and moderately spicy, notes of green apples again, also notes of white candi sugar and artificial candy, unpleasant soapy aftertaste. Overall disappointing.

May 2012: 500 ml bottle, from NETTO. Økologisk / organic. ABV is 4.6%. Golden colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of floral hops, some sweetish malts too. The flavour has some malty sweetness, and is not very "crisp". Some floral hops again, but the bitterness is too moderate. A hint of honey. A drinkable pilsener, but does not really stand out from the crowd.

Feb. 2013: 500 ml brown bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.7%. Clear brown colour, moderate off-white head. Strong aroma of damson / plums, over-ripe raspberries and some weird fruity cough syrup I bought in Scotland once. The flavour is fruity and slightly roasty, notes of plums, over-ripe raspberries and cough syrup again. Moderate hops. Pretty weird beer.

500 ml can, from EkoMarket, Bryne. ABV is 4.6%. Crystal clear and very pale straw colour, huge white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and newmown grass. "Neutral" pilsener flavour, fairly crisp with moderate bittering hops, but at least there are no offensive off-flavours. Better than I feared.

500 ml can, from a grocery store in Norway - I won't say which one, because the can had a sticker (in German) saying that the ABV is 5%. The max limit for selling alcohol in grocery stores in Norway is 4.75%. Bought in May 2024, so I doubt that the can was as old as 2022, but if that was the last year with 5.0% ABV, so be it. BB date 13.03.2025. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts, hay, honey, flowers and newmown grass. Surprisingly dry flavour, rather "neutral", moderate hops. Not undrinkable.

July 2016: RBESG 2016 in Barcelona. On tap at NaparBCN. Nearly black colour. Sweetish aroma of malts and molasses. The molasses flavour was WAY too sweet for me - at least in a setting like this, a multiple beers tasting.

500 ml can, from Helgø MENY, Hundvåg. ABV is 4.3%.Crystal clear pale golden colour, large white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and grassy hops, not too bad. Smooth mouthfeel. The flavour is kind of "neutral", a slight sweetness, very moderate hops. At least there are no unpleasant off-flavours. Some more bittering hops would not hurt.
