1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is light - what is there is of straw, while the flavor is artificially sweet with primary notes of straw, but also a weird hop note.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
(Bottle 33 cl) A non-alcohol Christmas beer?? This can only happen in Norway I’m sure. Poura a beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, white head. Weird aroma of....tobacco? Light, no watery actually, body. Vague notes of caramel and straw. No bitterness. 300406
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle.
Clear amber coloured with a white head.
Aroma of malts, but not much aroma at all.
Flavour of malts and cardboard.
Very watery.
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
UPDATED: MAY 9, 2007 Bottled. Golden with a decent white head. Grainy aroma that turns into something vomit-like if you take a real sniff. I can’t see that this one has anything with christmas. Not much flavor, but some citric acids is found. Some grains too. Decent bitterness in the finish. (051206)
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Golden/ light brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malt, caramel. Flavour is caramel, malt, sweet
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Orange colour with a off-white head. Weak malty aroma and a sweet straw taste. Light body with a straw finish.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
330ml bottle from Centra Colosseum Park, Oslo. Clear, light amber body. Near-white foamy head with a solid stand. Smell of malts and vegetables. Wort-like flavour with a sour malty ending. More or less as expected (hotel room, 17.11.2009).
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Biggish offwhite head over brown body with carbonation. Soft, grainy aroma of dry straw. Bitter, sweetish taste of caramel, faintly roasty malts, and straw. Dry caramel taste lingers. It doesn’t really taste like a real beer, but it’s not bad, either. I guess if what you are looking for is a substitute for normal Christmas beer, this isn’t it, but if you just want something beerlike without alcohol it might work just fine. (0.33l bottle.)
