1204 Pink Lady Apfel Cider by Katlenburger Germany Cider 3.3

330 ml clear screwcap bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Clear pale golden, pours moderately sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Moderate aroma of Pink Lady dessert apples. Sweet flavour of said apples - Pink Lady is a popular eating apple, but probably not equally great as a single variety cider apple. Nice enough to drink, though.

1221 Tuborg Classic Denmark Vienna / Amber Lager 2.7

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

July 2010: I remember the Danish version as an acceptable lager with some caramel sweetness. Rerate, Norwegian version brewed by Ringnes, 500 ml can: ABV is 4.6%. Golden (deep golden, maybe) colour, moderate white head. Very moderate aroma, hints of malts, boiled vegetables, caramel and dust. The flavour has some malts and a little caramel sweetness, hints of boiled vegetables and baby porridge. Not much to write home about. *I've had the Danish version many, many times, both on tap and from bottle, mainly because it is better than the ordinary Tuborg Grøn or Carlsberg, and is available everywhere.
