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!

330 ml bottle, batch #004, from the brewery. ABV is 4.7%. Slightly hazy brownish golden colour, moderate white head. Yeasty and grainy aroma, hints of dust. Medium dry yeasty and grainy flavour, boring. One to forget.

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 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.

Very dry and ashy flavour first, not very good coffee, a little sweetness in the finish. Not my cup of tea / coffee / beer.
