larsga (2149), Oslo, Norway Feb 2, 2008 Updated: Feb 23, 2008 Big shiny beige lasting head. Deep dark red body. Straw and grain aroma with notes of soft floral hops and caramel. Dry floral hop taste with notes of straw. Hints of residual sweetness. Sharpish mouthfeel. Medium-bodied. Bitter floral hop aftertaste with grain notes. Just a hint of the caramel and roastiness one would expect in a "Bayer"; it’s really completely dominated by the hops, which I really like. One of the best non-alcohols I’ve had. (0.33l bottle from Meny.)
gunnfryd (2743), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 3, 2008 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. KnutAlbert (2178), 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. tarjei (1168), 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- Sigmund (1938), 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. Rune (1662), 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).
