2096 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.

2099 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.
