Ringnes Skjœrgårds Pils



Back to Norway I go! Since I was in Norway I thought I'd do mostly Norwegian beers while I was here. I walked down to the local grocery store and saw some Skjœrgårds Pils, another variety of Ringnes, so I bought it along with a few others. In Norway instead of having to buy a six pack and risk getting something you don't like, you can rip open the case and get them individually if desired.

I was told that Skjœrgårds translates to "islands or rocks along the fjords." This beer had a summery look to the can so I was guessing it was a seasonal.

This beer poured a light golden color and had a good head, but had no retention what so ever and therefore had zero lacing. The nose was sweet with hints of honey and was almost spicy. The spiciness came out in the taste as well with the sweetness. The mouth feel was thin and light but was well carbonated. Overall this was a very easily drinkable beer, especially on a hot Norwegian summer day.
