Rerate, 330 ml green bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. The aroma has maize and some fruit, not unpleasant. The flavour is (well, what flavour?) not offensive, at least when the beer is ice cold. Some "freshness" made it quite drinkable with pizza, and if that is your only ambition, it should work well. The beer enthusiast will of course look for more flavourful beers.

330 ml sample bottle, a gift, as Little Valley Organic Python IPA. Brew #207, BB date 19.06. 2011. ABV is 6.0%. Cloudy brownish golden colour, large white head. Strong lemony and acidic / vinegary aroma, also hints of wild yeast / farmhouse. The flavour is very acidic, lemony and vinegary, with a sharp hoppy biiterness in the finish. This is the second beer past its BB date I’ve had from Little Valley, they have both gone sour. Apparently you should not even CONSIDER drinking their beers if they are past their BB date. Will rerate if I can find a fresh bottle.

330 ml can, from a Bali supermarket. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. Strong grassy aroma, also notes of flowers and artificial candy. Fairly sweet flavour, bordering on "sugary", some malts, some fruit, minimal bitterness. Not undrinkable when cold - certainly not something to search out, but as it seems to be available in every supermarket in Bali, you take what you can get ...

Cask pint at Wetherspoons, London Victoria Station. Cloudy orange-brownish colour, low off-white head. Very moderate aroma, a little malts, a hint of butter. Minimal carbonation, poor condition. Initially dull flavour, quite dry. Some earthy hops in the finish cannot save the beer from falling in the "boring" category. Daleside can do better than this - and JDW should serve their beers in better condition. Could not finish the pint.

Shared can at local tasting. Deep golden colour. Sweetish aroma of malts, maize and alcohol. The flavour is also sweet and malty with notes of alcohol. Uninteresting, but not undrinkable.

330 ml can, brought home from Cyprus by my wife. ABV is 4.5%. Very pale goldeen colour, fluffy head. Moderate citrussy and grassy aroma. Thin mouthfeel, moderate flavour with a touch of citrussy hops. Not great, but not offensive either.

330 ml slimline can. ABV is 4.7%. Brewed with ecological (organic) ingredients. Crystal clear pale yellow beer with big bubbles and a decent white head. Sweetish aroma, fruity first, then only some maize and grain notes remain. Fizzy mouthfeel. Sweetish and sugary flavour, some malty notes, minimal bitterness. Drinkable, but far from interesting, and over-priced.

500 ml can. ABV is 4.6%. Deep golden colour, large head. Weak sweetish and "unfresh" aroma with notes of boiled vegetables, hints of cinnamon. Moderate carbonation. The flavour is like one of Ringnes’ other uninteresting and sweetish "modern" lagers, with some cinnamon added. Drinkable, but not a beer that will bring much happiness to your Christmas, that’s for sure.

330 ml green bottle. Like all Grans beers, it is available only in REMA 1000 stores. Bronze coloured beer, large off-white head. The aroma has notes of malts, caramel and cooked vegetables, hints of spices. Fairly thin mouthfeel, as expected from a 2.4% beer, but the flavour actually has SOME malts and hops, with a slightly sourish finish - so the beer is a little "better" than I feared.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Crystal clear pale yellow colour, fizzy white head. Very moderate aroma, some pilsener malts and a weak fruitiness. Very light bodied, relatively dry, very moderate bitterness. Cold, refreshing and easy drinking, but boring.

500 ml can, sold only in REMA 1000 stores. ABV is 4.7%. Clear amber colour, moderate off-white head. Weak aroma, notes of caramel, baby porridge and over-boiled vegetables. Thin and watery mouthfeel. The flavour has some caramel and malts, but is otherwise fairly bland and boring, not very sweet. Minimal hops, hardly any bitterness.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Reddish brown colour, very small head, slightly off-white, moderate carbonation. Aroma of malts, caramel and brown bread, a hint of dark fruits. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour has some acidic notes, but not to an unpleasant degree. Otherwise the same elements as the aroma. Drinkable, but you'll get better dunkels from industrial breweries, to a lower price.

500 ml bottle, from EkoMarket, Stavanger. ABV is 4.6%. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma of grain, dust, wort and baby porridge. The flavour has first a little citrus, then the same elements as the aroma. Won't buy again.

Sample from can at Mandag i Annen, Cardinal. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate hoppy aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Fairly nice hoppy flavour, no offensive off-flavours. Might have some more bittering hops in the next batch?

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 8.5%. Slightly hazy golden to orange colour, minimal white head. Aroma of banana and kiwi purees, an unpleasant hint of solvent. Moderately sour flavour, notes of kiwi and banana purees again, also lactic acid. Not undrinkable, but hardly a beer I'd buy again.

330 ml can, as Fauve Fleur Noire Imperial Stout Vanille - Cacao - Tonka, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 12%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of roast malts, vanilla, chocolate and the usual unpleasant notes of tonka beans (which I hate). Warming mouthfeel. Sweet flavour with the same elements as the aroma, ruined by tonka beans. I don't know why I bought this beer in the first place - I must have been drunk.

330 ml can, in Tenerife. ABV is 5.0%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Weak "dusty" aroma with just a hint of wort and cooked vegetables. Fizzy mouthfeel. Typical industrial pale lager flavour, a little sweetness, and a moderate and "dusty" bitterness in the finish.

500 ml can, bought in Spain. ABV is 4.7%. Crystal clear pale yellow colour, big to moderate white head. Sweetish aroma, notes of candy, some floral and grassy notes too. The flavour is too sweet for a German pils, some artificial "candy" notes, but the beer is still drinkable. A little bitterness in the finish. Not something I’ll buy again, though.

500 ml can, from REMA 1000. ABV 3.5%. The first Swedish "folköl" in Norway, hurra! - NOT. Very pale yellow colour, big white head. Sweetish aroma, grassy and sugary notes. Bland flavour and thin mouthfeel as expected, but no really offensive sidenotes detected. A little hops makes this a tolerable refreshment when cold - but only if you have nothing better around.

500 ml supermarket can, a gift from my brother, bought in Italy. ABV is 4.7%. Pale yellow colour, large white head. Strong sweetish aroma, notes of maltose, grass and artificial candy. The flavour is sweet and sugary, with very moderate hops. Lacks the crisp flavour of a decent pilsener. Typical industrial supermarket pale lager.

330 ml bottle, as Fucking Hell Original, kindly shared by gunnar. A helles named after the Austrian village Fucking - what did you think it was? Brewed in Germany. Very pale golden colour, low white head. Very little aroma, a hint of grass and flowers. Moderate flavour, a little sweetness, a little bitterness in the finish. Nothing spectacular here, except the name ...

Shared 330 ml can, at local tasting. ABV is 5.1%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Minimal aroma, hints of grassy and citrussy hops, not unpleasant though. Fairly "clean" and neutral pale lager flavour, a hint of citrus, noticeable hops. Not as bad as I feared.

Boring aroma, notes of dust and wet cardboard, also some sweetish notes of maize, hints of detergent. Fizzy mouthfeel. The otherwise bland flavour has some stale and metallic hops in the finish. Will not buy again.
