larsga (2448), Oslo, Norway Feb 12, 2008 Medium shiny coarseish white head shrinks rapidly, leaving a strange-looking head full of holes. Deep yellow body with carbonation. Milky straw and rubber aroma, quite mild. Dry metallic straw taste with wooden, meaty notes. Medium body. Dry metallic milky aftertaste with hop notes. (Hops!?! In a Ringnes beer?!) Harsh dry metallic taste lingers. Not the worst of the Munkholm series. In fact, possibly the best. (0.5l can from Meny.) KnutAlbert (2484), Oslo, Norway Feb 7, 2008 0,5 l can.
OK for a non-alcoholic. Some bread, a litlte fruit, a little bitterness that lingers. OleR (1382), Oslo, Norway Feb 20, 2008 500 ml can. Quickly shrinking average big-bubbled, coarse beige head. Clear copper colored body with lively carbonation. Light bready, but clean malt aroma. Nothing more though. Taste is fairly dry (compared to other Norwegian n/a’s), grainy with a moderate bitterness and some notes of cookies and dark bread. Light sourness in the finish. Thin, of coarse, but a decent non-alcohol beer. Beer2000 (1312), Kristiansand, Norway Feb 15, 2008 500 ml can. Pale golden body with a creamy white head. Some fruity, grainy aroma. Flavor is sweet malty with a hint of fruit and hops. Rather watery, but not bad at all for a non-alcoholic lager. Maybe a bit sweeter and macroscopically more hoppier than a typical non alcoholic lager. Gr0ve (1123), Oslo, Norway Feb 14, 2008 500 ml can. Light copper colour. Crystal clear. Small fine-laced white head that clings to the glass. Crisp grainy aroma with some sweetish hop notes. Light-bodied. Less carbonation than expected. Dry mouthfeel. Some biscuity malt flavours, but overall the texture is very thin and there is not much here. Finishes with quite a bit of dry metallic hops. Finish is very watery and thin. Not bad for a non-alcohol beer, but there is still a lot to go on.
