My rating No. 12000 at RB. 500 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.1%. Pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of various citrus fruits and tropical fruits. Lagerish mouthfeel - no wonder, as this is a lager. Hoppy flavour, notes of grapefruit with a decent bitterness.

Moderately sweet malty flavour, some herbal hops in the finish. Drinkable, but hardly a beer I'll buy again, even though it is cheap.

Very pale yellow colour, large white head. Fairly strong sweetish aroma with grassy notes, hints of artificial candy. Soft and bland flavour, a little malty sweetness, hardly any bitterness at all. No offensive side flavours though, if that can make anyone happy.

330 ml can, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. ABV is 4.8%. Slightly hazy golden to orange colour, moderate to small white head. Unpleasant aroma of grain, wort and dust, hints of stale jam. The flavour is first citric and kind of refreshing, then the boring notes of the aroma come through in the flavour too, and the beer loses my interest completely.

May 2012: 330 ml bottle, from NETTO. ABV is 5.7%. Golden colour, large to medium white head. The aroma has first some sweetish malts and grassy and herbal hops, and is better than I feared - then the usual Harboe notes of wet cardboard set in. The flavour is first sugary sweeet, then I get a hint of grassy hops, before the finish with dust and cardboard. Sure, my expectations were low, but I suppose Harboe would be capable of making an even worse show of it. At least the beer was cheap ...

Oct. 2005: 330 ml bottle, as "Sapporo Premium Lager", brewed "under license in the EU". Ingredients are water, malts, hops and hop extract - no maize (corn) or rice here. Different recipe? Bought in Norway at Ultra. ABV here is 4.7%, to comply with our 4.75% upper limit for beers sold in grocery stores. Pale golden colour, large head. Flowery sweet aroma, not unpleasant. Flavour is surprisingly clean tasting, no sign of adjuncts and off-flavours, tolerable hops. Well, it’s a light bodied pale lager - I don’t expect miracles, but it sure was a lot better than I feared.
