2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - SEP 18, 2008
Fløska. Míni tøkk til Noregsmaður Yngvar fyri hesa bjór. Clear golden amber with a big off-white bubbly creamish good lasting head laving a fair lacing. Grainy caramel maltish aroma. Fair mouthfeel. The flavour is mild with sweet toasty caramel, some bitter hops and toasty malt. Dry mild caramel finish. Weak but not bad at all for an alc. free beer.

Bottle. Amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is roasted, malt. Flavour is roasted, malt, hay. One of the few non- alcoholic brew in Norway it´s OK to drink.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 27, 2008
Fine amber color. Grain and malt, but there are hops in there, too, if you need an alcohol free beer, this is probably the best option.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 tarjei (1941) - Bryne, NORWAY - MAY 18, 2008
33 cl bottle. Amber color, big disappering off-white head. Aroma has hints of malt. Flavor is very moderate caramel malt-
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - APR 22, 2008
330 ml bottle. Copper coloured beer with a big off-white head. Typical n/a beer aroma with the usual sickly "boiled" notes (baby porridge, over-boiled vegetables), also some more pleasant hints of bakery and caramel. The flavour is bland and boring, again those sickly "boiled" notes, too much sweetness. A slight bitterness in the finish. Not for me this one.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 Rune (4667) - Tromsø, NORWAY - APR 7, 2008
330ml bottle from Fenaknoken in Oslo. Pours a short lived, off-white head over a deep, dark-brown body. Good lacing on the glass. Smell of wort and malt. Flavours of slightly roasted grain with notes of vegetables and with moderate sweetness. Light-medium palate, but still preferable to many Norwegian lagers (04.04.2008).
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 Beer2000 (2919) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAR 30, 2008
330 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a decent but disappearing off white head. Aroma is grainy but dominated by caramel. Flavor is sweet, distinct malty and caramel. Almost a bit like a clean malt beer (Vørterøl). It has of course a watery body, but whiteout doubt one of the better non alcoholic beers I have sampled. One bottle is OK, but have to admit it’s getting a bit monotone after bottle number two. (What a great brew to celebrate my rating no. 1001 :-) )
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 2, 2008
330 ml bottle. Clear copper-brown color. Big fluffy beige head leaving laces. Dry caramellish malts in the aroma, along with some plummy frutiness and a scent of hayish and floral hops. Clean and fresh malt taste. Fruity tones and a fine bitterness. Spritzy mouthfeel. Malty and gently bitter end. This must be top end of non-alcohol beers...
