2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 KnutAlbert (4587) - 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.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Sigmund (3705) - 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.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 OleR (3638) - 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...
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 Beer3000 (3094) - 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 :-) )
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 Meilby (2657) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - DEC 31, 2010
Bottle 330ml @ home
Pours clear dark amber with a off-white head. Aroma is malty with notes of bread and a little caramel. Taste is medium sweet with a light bitter finish. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 tarjei (1949) - 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-
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20 Cunningham (1940) - Halden, NORWAY - FEB 14, 2012
Bottle from Coop Lier. Light amber colour, with an off white head. Sweet malt aroma with some sour notes, maybee some caramel thare also. But who cares.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Gr0ve (1875) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 20, 2008
330 ml bottle. Mahogany colour. Crystal clear. Lots of bubbles rising. Tall fluffy light beige head that clings to the glass. Dry grainy, and slightly harsh, malt aroma. Not much hops in the nose. Crisp grainy malt flavours. Somewhat dry, but smooth, texture. Quite a bit of body for the type. Finish has some floral hop bitterness. Lowering the graininess a little would be a good thing. Definitely the best non-alcohol beer on the Norwegian market.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 RuneStumo (1457) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - AUG 19, 2011
16.08.2011. 0,33l Bottle. Meny Karmsundgata. Dark golden colour with large off-white head. Aroma is malty with rather good flavours of real beer. Moderate bitterness and there is some sweet strange flavours of non-alcoholic beer at the end.
