  • Arendals 1839 Blå (was: Plzener)
    rated 2.1 1 month ago

    Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

    Weak sweetish aroma of pilsener malts, a hint of flowers. Fairly bland and "neutral" flavour, no offensive side-flavours, but not much to make you happy either. A slight fruitiness, lacks bittering hops.

  • Arendals 1839 Grønn
    rated 2.6 1 month ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    330 ml can, from Coop Extra Lyngdal. ABV is 4.7%, IBU 18-19. Very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and flowers. Boring flavour, a slight sweetness, too little bitterness. Far from undrinkable though.

  • Wongraven Saison
    rated 3.6 1 month ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    330 ml bottle, batch #3, as Saison Wongraven. Solo (Σόλο) is not mentioned on the label at all, and is possibly not involved anymore? The beer is brewed for Wongraven Wines by Arendals Bryggeri. ABV is 7%. Purchased at Vinmonopolet; Nettbutikken. Moderately hazy golden colour, moderate to small white head. Distinct and pleasant aroma of spicy saison yeast and spicy and herbal hops. Light bodied for its strength. The flavour is mid between dry and sweet, again with spicy and herbal notes from the yeast and hops, medium bitter finish.

  • Paulaner Original Münchner Hell
    rated 3.1 1 month ago

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

    On tap in a beach bar at Jurmala, Latvia. Pale golden colour, moderate head. "Neutral" aroma. Clean flavour, with a moderate hoppy bitterness on a pleasant but very moderate malty base, with some nice notes of fruit (pineapple). Easy drinking.

  • Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    330 ml can in cardboard box, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 12.5%. Pitch black colour, minimal brown head. Aroma of roast malts, chocolate, vanilla, creme brulee and whiskey. Moderate but sufficient carbonation in the glass. The flavour is sweet, but not as extreme as I feared. Same elements as the aroma, also noticeable oak and moderate bittering hops.

  • Nøgne Ø Fatøl
    rated 3.2 1 month ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    500 ml can, from Coop Extra Prestemarka, Tau. ABV is 4.7%, IBU 17. Deep golden colour, large white head Aroma of malts and caramel. Flavour also of malts and caramel, but not overly sweet. Moderate herbal hops, but the bitterness could with advantage be firmer. Reasonably priced, so I might buy again.
