7176 Gulder Lager (Nigeria) Nigeria Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 5.2%. Pale golden colour, low head. Moderate fruity aroma, not too bad. Fizzy mouthfeel. "Chemical" flavour with notes of raw alcohol and wet cardboard.

7177 Hansa Pilsner Null% Norway Reduced Alcohol 1.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 3

500 ml can. To call this n/a beer a "pilsner" is a bit of an atrocity. Clear pale golden colour, fluffy white head. The aroma has the usual sickly and sweetish "boiled" notes (over-boiled vegetables, baby maize porridge) that you find in most n/a beers. The flavour is also slightly sweetish and bland with minimal hops. Won’t buy again.

7178 Spar Cerveza Sin Spain Reduced Alcohol 1.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

330 ml can, in Spain. ABV is less than 1%. Golden colour, moderate white head. The usual sickly n/a beer aroma of maize, over-boiled vegetables and stale grain. The flavour is somewhat better than the aroma - a boring pale lager flavour without being totally undrinkable.

7179 Phoenix Fresh Lemon Mauritius Fruit Beer 1.6

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

330 ml can, kindly shared by abemorsten, who brought it from Mauritius. ABV is 3.5%. Very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate lemon aroma. Tastes like a lemon shandy, quite refreshing, but not much beer flavour (just a little malts in the finish).

7180 Stella Pils Mauritius Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

Shared 330 ml can at local tasting, thanks to abemorsten. Pale golden colour, low head. Moderate sweetish aroma, hints of grass and candy. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour has a hint of citrus, but both the malts and hops are poorly represented.

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

Shared 250 ml green bottle. Pale golden colour, low white head. Aroma of wet cardboard, lemony and catty notes. Bland and "dusty" flavour, nothing interesting here whatsoever.

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 2

August 2022: Shared 1 liter PET bottle at Bryne tasting. Dark brown colour. Aroma of caramel and dark bread. Sweet flavour, thin mouthfeel. Not good. Certainly not the best kwas / kvass I've had.

April 2022: 500 ml can, from Coop Extra Prestemarka, Tau. ABV is 2.4%. Moderately hazy golden colour, moderate to small white head. Strong aroma of apricot and elderflower soda and candy. The flavour is way too sugary and sweet, notes of artificial apricot and elderflower candy.

330 ml can, as Tuborg Classic 0,0% Alkohol, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma of wort and baby porridge, a hint of citrus in the background. The flavour is not too bad for a n/a lager, malts and a little citrus, a hint of broth, notes of wort and porridge in the aftertaste.

7188 Beaufort Lager (Togo) Togo Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3

Shared can at local tasting. Pale golden colour. Weird industrial aroma, hints of chemical waste and band-aid. The flavour is somewhat "better", thin and grainy, but not undrinkable.

250 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 2.6%. Clear amber colour, small white head. Perfumed aroma of peaches, artificial peach candy, grass and mild spices. VERY sweet flavour (why all these sweeteners?) with the same elements as the aroma. Not good. Won't buy again.

7194 Fosters Lager Australia Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

(330 ml bottle, ABV 4.5%): Light golden colour, large head that doesn't last long. Initial fresh Heineken-like aroma that doesn't linger, bland watery flavour, aftertaste has a little strange and unpleasant bitterness in the end. So boring they could have named it "Neville Chamberlain".

7195 Erdinger Champ Germany Hefeweizen 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3

The bottle I had (bought in Norway) was outdated 2 weeks ago, and was not stored cool at my retailer’s like it ought to be. Cloudy brew with a far-from-appetizing lumpy sediment. Unpleasant aroma. A major disappointment.

7196 Erdinger Weissbier Alkoholfrei Germany Reduced Alcohol 1.6

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

500 ml bottle. Looks like a very pale Hefe-Weissbier, and for some reason I hoped a N/A Weissbier would be much better than other N/A beers. I was disappointed. Sickly "boiled" smell and flavour of wort, overdone vegetables and wet cardboard, just like Clausthaler. None of the Hefe aroma and "freshness" I hoped for. Avoid.

7197 Marston's Resolution / Low C United Kingdom Light / Lite Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

(275 ml bottle). A low carb bitter - what an idea! Commercial description: "Full flavoured English beer" - my ass! Weak malty aroma, very weak flavour. They sure haven’t used too much of the Golding and Fuggle hops which the label boasts! Quite dry. I used most of it to wash down a meal. Definitely not a beer I’ll buy again!

7198 Harboe Pilsner Denmark Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

500 ml can, bought in Norway. ABV here is 4.6%. I suspect Harboe Pilsner and Harboe Premium (Premium Pilsner) is really the same beer, with just a slight change of ABV depending on where it's sold. This is just another yellow fizzy beer, low head, little aroma, some corn sweetness and a touch of metallic bitterness. Quite uninteresting.

7199 Cerveja Super Bock Portugal Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget). Pale golden colour with fluffy white head that doesn’t last very long, some lacing. Grassy sweet aroma with notes of maize/corn and molasses, hints of vomit. Bland flavour, typical industrial adjunct lager, some maize sweetness, low bitterness. I think even Sagres tasted fresher than this one. Not a beer I’ll buy again. If I go to Portugal I’ll probably stick to vinho verde.

7200 Mack Arctic Ice Norway Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

330 ml clear bottle. Some initial flowery aroma that vanishes quickly. Hardly any flavour. Just another ice beer - the style for people who really don't like beer at all.
