0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20 Sigmund (3713) - Hafrsfjord, - OCT 11, 2005
330 ml bottle, bought at LIDL Norway. Looks like a pale lager, gets a point for a tolerable head. Otherwise this is another offensive n/a beer, sweetish aroma and flavour with notes of grit, the usual n/a "boiled" notes are there. As with all(?) n/a beers: Avoid!
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 RuneStumo (1464) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - NOV 28, 2008
09.10.2004. 0,33l Bottle. The colour is pale golden yellow. Aroma is typical low-alcohol. Not very impressive.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 OleR (3658) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 27, 2007
Bottle. Medium-sized, mostly lasting white head over a bubbely, overly corbonatied, clear pale yellow body. Sweetish mash and grain to the nose. Notes of metal. Sugery and grainy taste. Some hopbitterness detected. Thin palate. Grainy and slight bitter finish.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 tykjen (182) - Florø, NORWAY - FEB 12, 2007
Low aroma, but not of a really bad one. No head and a grainy off-flavor in the finish. Not too sweet like many n/a.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 KnutAlbert (4607) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 13, 2006
Malty, but some hoppiness, too, quite balanced. Not totally bad, but I’m not likely to buy this again!
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Gr0ve (1877) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 27, 2006
330 ml bottle. Golden coloured with a medium-sized fine-laced white head. Dry grainy aroma with a grassy hoppiness. Soft carbonation with small bubbles. Balances the little grainy maltiness nicely. Feels quite sweet in the mouth. Surprisingly sweet in fact, something that hides the otherwise watery body in beers like this. Well done, and definitely one of the better non-alcholic beers I’ve had.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 larsga (4663) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 24, 2006
Medium creamy white head with larger bubbles over light yellow body. Sweetish, grainy aroma of hay and wet paper. Taste is again sweetish grain with faint, faint bitterness. Aftertaste is very lightly dry grain and dry straw. Some emptiness to the taste. For an alcohol-free this is not at all bad. Probably the cleanest Norwegian-brewed alcohol-free I’ve tasted. (0.33l bottle.)
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 Beer3000 (3111) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 27, 2006
330 ml bottle. Looks, smells and taste more than less like most other non-alcoholic pilsner copies. To be honest, I think this is one of the better samples. Of course it’s watery and thin, but the malt sweetness and touch of bitterness suits me well as a non-alcoholic alternative. The cut down price on this one is also a positive feature in this case. I don’t expect to much of this kind of beer, so it deliver what I want.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Papsoe (22985) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 17, 2006
(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a gigantic, bubbly head propelled by an excessive carbonation. If I try damn hard perhaps I can pick up a vague trace of malt in the aroma. Thin and very watery with an extremely metallic tang. No malt, no hops - a weak, underlying sweetness. An amazingly bad beer. 170706
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 gunnfryd (7045) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 16, 2006
Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Light malt aroma. Light malt with water flavour.
