2101 Lilland Maize Lager Norway Pale Lager 2.3

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

330 ml bottle, from Lilland's off-licence. Gluten free. ABV is 4.7%. Sligtly hazy and very pale straw colour, large white head. Sweetish aroma of maize (sweet corn), hints of wort and baby porridge. Thin mouthfeel. Slightly citric flavour, some maize in the background, low bitterness. Drinkable, but not very exciting, and hardly the first choice of the beer enthusiast.

2103 Lilland IPA Norway IPA 3.6

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

330 ml bottle, from Lilland's off-licence. ABV is 4.7%. Orange to pale brown colour, hazy when the yeast is poured in the end, large off-white head. Nice aroma of orange marmalade and piney hops. Fizzy and citric mouthfeel, but the body is sufficient for a session IPA. The flavour has notes of citrus and pine needles, and is not too sweet. Refreshing and nice to drink.

2105 Tuborg LITE Raspberry Twist Norway Light / Lite Lager 1.8

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

500 ml can, from Rema 1000, Tau. ABV is 4.3%. Clear pale golden colour, moderate to small white head. Artificial aroma of raspberries / raspberrydrops - no real raspberries have been added to this beer, that's for sure. Light bodied, as expected. More artificial raspberrydrops in the flavour, but not overly sweet. A hint of metallic hops in the finish. Another tick for me - otherwise utterly forgettable, and not something I'll buy again, ever.

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

330 ml bottle, from Lilland's off-licence. ABV is 4.7%. The glass fills completely by white foam, and the hazy golden beer appears only slowly. Aroma of yeast (far too yeasty), also notes of wheat and cloves. The flavour is also too yeasty, and moderately citric, notes of grain, hints of cloves. Still drinkable. Banana, yeast and grain in the aftertaste.

2108 Clausthaler Hefeweizen Germany Reduced Alcohol 2.7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Feb. 2014: 500 ml can, as Clausthaler Weizen, from a REMA 1000 store. Brewed in Germany, canned by Hansa-Borg in Bergen. Cloudy orange colour, large to moderate white head. Surprisingly "normal " hefeweizen aroma of banana and cloves. The flavour is fairly bland, but still rather refreshing due to some citrussy notes and moderate hefeweizen characteristics. The finish however is very bland and dull, with hints of boiled vegetables. As a non-alcoholic beer, it is definitely not the worst of its kind.

2113 Ritterguts Lichtenhainer Weisse Germany Ale 2.8

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

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.3%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Wheaty aroma, hints of fart and smoke. Fizzy mouthfeel. Medium sour flavour, notes of lactic acid and lightly smoked wheat malts, also some fruity notes reminiscent of yellow plums. Low bitterness. Not bad, not great, historically interesting - but there is probably a reason that the Lichtenhainer beer style died out.
