1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20 Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 17, 2006
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 Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 1, 2006
(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
1.4 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Sigmund (3705) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - JAN 1, 2007
330 ml brown bottle. The beer looks impressive - amber colour, with a huge and creamy long lasting head. Sickly sweet aroma of over-boiled vegetables and unfermented wort, typical n/a beer. The flavour is actually better than many other n/a beers (like the Munkholm range) - there is a certain maltiness with some caramel, and tolerable hops in the finish. If you MUST have a n/a beer, this one is at least (nearly) drinkable, if you can stand the smell.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20 Rune (4922) - Tromsø, NORWAY - NOV 18, 2009
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).

1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - DEC 6, 2005
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)
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20 OleR (3638) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 6, 2006
Bottle. Clear light brown color, big rocky head. Faint sweet grain aroma. Sweetish taste of candysugar. Absolutely no bitterness. Nice apperance, but thats all!
