Message kdb88 beers 9 º places 5 º 04:45 Tue 1/29/2013 Hi! I wonder if anyone could recommend some good Sour Beers or fruit beers that have 4,7% or lower alchol. Most Geuze and Lambic is around 5%, but im looking for something that is just under in alcohol. Thanks!
Message rudolf beers 2359 º places 104 º 05:42 Tue 1/29/2013 I don’t know what is available in Norway, but I’d try any Berliner Weisse you can find. Those will be sour and probably under 4.7%
Message TooManyBeers beers 2 º 07:31 Tue 1/29/2013 Does 4.71% qualify?
Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 08:19 Tue 1/29/2013 Originally posted by TooManyBeers Does 4.71% qualify? 4.71 > 4.7, so no.

Message TURDFERGUSON beers 4067 º places 154 º 08:56 Tue 1/29/2013 Why 4.7?
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 09:19 Tue 1/29/2013 Originally posted by TURDFERGUSON Why 4.7? I’m guessing it’s something to do with the fact that only the Government-owned Vinmonopolet stores are allowed to sell anything over 4.7%.
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 09:24 Tue 1/29/2013 And I think 4.7% is relevant to the amount of beer that Norwegians can bring back into the country duty free.
Message OnWisconsin beers 132 º places 1 º 11:21 Tue 1/29/2013 As for fruit beer, you can’t go wrong with New Glarus Serendipity, New Belgium Red and their Raspberry Tart. All with GREAT ratings and are at 4% abv. You will have to trade for them but if you can get any of them you won’t be disappointed!

I’m guessing it’s something to do with the fact that only the Government-owned Vinmonopolet stores are allowed to sell anything over 4.7%. Yes, that is right. But we can bring back any beer up to 23 % on the duty free, as long as it is a beer.
Message kdb88 beers 9 º places 5 º 14:04 Tue 1/29/2013 Originally posted by TooManyBeers Does 4.71% qualify? Yes.. As long as is it lower than 4,75%

Thanks! http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/jolly-pumpkin-bam-noire/77543/ is listed as a Saison, but is a Sour IMO. 4.3% ABV, and one of my favorites!
