Nov. 2021: 355 ml gusher can, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4%, IBU 35. Orange colour, moderate white head. Dull aroma of malts and stale jam. The flavour is better, medium dry with notes of grapefruit and a sharp bitterness in the finish. Not a beer I'll buy again, though.

500 ml can, bought in Crete, shared in Oslo by my son Steinar. Pale golden colour, white head. Standard industrial pilsener aroma and flavour, some hop bitterness, decent enough in a Greek summer, but nothing special here.

April 2002: That's right boys - when in Lithuania, have some "alus". This is the standard brew. Feels right when you get it in the dark brown cafés of the old town of Vilnius or Kaunas - hardly elsewhere.

July 2017: Keg pint at the Station Pub, Castleford. Golden colour, creamy white head. Weak aroma, but not offensive. Smooth mouthfeel. Refreshing clean flavour, fairly dry, but the hops are too moderate. Still not nearly as bad as I feared.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken (n/a dpt.). ABV is less than 0.5%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of pink grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Citrus fruits in the flavour too, fairly good body for a n/a beer. Bitter finish, becomes sharpish and metallic in the finish.

May 2020: 500 ml can, from Joker Vatlandsvåg. ABV is 2.4%. Hazy pale straw colour, pours fizzy with a large white head. Aroma of a grapefruit soda / pop. Mouthfeel is slightly "beery". Flavour of grapefruit soda / pop with a hint of hop bitterness in the finish.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 14.5%. Clear and deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma of alcohol, yeast, malts, caramel, banana. Sweet flavour (from the alcohol, according to the brewery - they insist on the beer being dry), over-ripe fruits, slightly sour, alcohol. Whatever they have tried to do here, they have not been very successful.

500 ml can, from Joker Vatlandsvåg. ABV is 4.7%. Slightly hazy golden colour with a pinkish hue. Shortlived white head. Aroma and flavour of grapefruit soda, sweet. Some malts in the background. Fairly refreshing. Contains 50% beer and 50% lemonade / grapefruit soda, which means that the beer alone must have been 9.4%, unless alcohol has been added to the blend.

August 2012: Shared bottle at local tasting. ABV is 7%. Dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Sorish and sharp aroma of lightly roasted coffee beans, some dusty, earthy and ashy notes. Very dry and ashy flavour first, not very good coffee, a little sweetness in the finish. Not my cup of tea / coffee / beer.

500 ml bottle, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour, large white head. Moderate and dull aroma, "dusty" notes, only a hint of citric hops. Light bodied, fizzy mouthfeel. Slightly citric flavour, but hardly an IPA by any stretch of the mind.

330 ml slimline can, as Tuborg NUL Øl & Citrus, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. Cloudy and very pale straw colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma and flavour of lemonade / lemon & lime soda. Just a little malts in the background. Very refreshing, like a lemon soda.

Sweetish grassy aroma. Standard industrial pale lager flavour, neither better nor worse than the bulk of them. Some hops in the finish.

This is a light golden coloured Norwegian pils with a pleasant, fruity (but not very strong) aroma, easily drinkable, too lightly hopped (even for me, who's far from being one of the extreme 'hopheads'), hardly any aftertaste.

I used to appreciate its crisp citrus perfumed aroma, often accompanied by a fresh seafood meal - but alas, I grew tired of it. I'm not the only one.

(Bottle, bought in Sweden, where this much weaker Carnegie version is sold in grocery stores. The ordinary 5.6% ABV Carnegie (Stark) Porter is sold in Systembolaget stores only). Remarkably different from the stronger version - slightly paler colour, weaker aroma, considerably thinner body, flavour seems sweeter, lacks bitterness. Of course it's drinkable - but the full strength version is the way to go!

(330 ml bottle, bought in London). Pale golden colour, large thick head. Fruity melon-like aroma, flavour is typical industrial lager, a bit sweet. Not very interesting.

(Bottle). Extremely sweet low ABV (2%) Scottish stout, traditionally recommended for nursing mothers and convalescents to regain their strength. Scotsmen drink it mixed half & half with Guinness. Might be a good idea. I had it on its own at room temperature, and found it way too sweet, nearly undrinkable. Would probably be better at cellar temperature.

(500 ml can.) Aimed at younger consumer groups, this "Extraordinary Spesialøl" ("special beer") is just slightly darker and sweeter than an average bland lager / pilsener. Nothing to write home about.

Sampled in Denmark. Golden colour. Artificial candy aroma, not very pleasant. OKish standard lager flavour when cold, acceptable aftertaste. Far from great, though. This is not a beer to search out, the stronger "Hancock Beer" or their two Gambrinus beers are a better choice.

330 ml bottle, in Denmark. Ascorbic and citric acid has been added to this "pure malt and Saazer hops" beer, hmmm..... Copper coloured, low head. Weak aroma, some caramel malts. Very moderate flavour of caramel malts. I’m not impressed!

375 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.2%. Clear signal red colour, moderate to small off-white to pink head. Aroma of sour cherries, solvent, almonds and detergent. Thin mouthfeel. Dry flavour with notes of sour cherries, cherry kernels, solvent and bittering hops. Not a beer for me. Apparently the impossible takes more than week.

On tap at Cardinal. Golden colour, small white head. Weak aroma, hints of artificial mango and peach essence. The flavour is not very sour, nor very sweet, but has again artificial notes of peach and mango essence. Not great.
