Nov. 2014: Shared bottle at local tasting, as Famosa. Pale golden colour, low white head. Artificial and "chemical" sweetish / sourish aroma. Sourish flavour, otherwise bland as hell, dust, no bitterness

500 ml can, from EkoMarket Bryne. ABV is 0.0%. Crystal clear pilsener-like pale golden colour, moderate white head. Strong aroma of artificial passionfruit and melon essence. Medium sweet and slightly citric flavour, unfortunately with loads of said artificial essence. Won't buy again.

330 ml clear bottle, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Clear golden colour, shortlived white head. Unpleasant aroma of artificial "apple" essence and sulphur. The sugary flavour is mid between dry and sweet, certainly not "extra dry". Again unpleasant artificial "apple" and sulphur notes. This is an insult to real ciders. Drainpour, crap-o-lainen.

500 ml can. Pale golden colour, fizzy shortlived head. Moderate carbonation in the glass. Sweetish unpleasant aroma of artificial candy / pear drops. The flavour is "empty", not very sweet - but the little sweetness there is, actually constitutes most of the flavour. Pear drops in the finish. Hardly any hops. Even for a Lite-beer, this is really bad!

330 ml green bottle, bought in Sweden. Crystal clear very pale yellow colour, big to moderate white head. Typical n/a beer aroma of over-boiled vegetables and baby maize porridge. Thin and watery mouthfeel. The flavour has notes of over-boiled vegetables and wet cardboard, hardly any bitterness. Terrible.

330 ml clear bottle with a tear-off cap (thought those went out of fashion in the 70s?). Distributed (and probably brewed) by Ringnes (Carlsberg) for the Norwegian market. ABV is 4.5%. Extremely pale and crystal clear yellow colour, big to moderate white head. Weak aroma with hints of pilsener malts and artificial lime flavouring. Sweetish sugary flavour with notes of artificial "lime" again - and nothing else. No bitterness, nor any other indications that this actually is a beer. Jeezes - what a worthless "beer"! I’d rather have a glass of mineral water with a twist of real lime. Ringnes/Carlsberg have once again shown us that Tuborg is chosen as their bog standard brand in Norway.

330 ml bottle, in Aalborg, Denmark. Pale golden colour, low and very short-lived head. Boring aroma and flavour, watery and sad. This light (= low ABV) beer is one to avoid.

500 ml can, a "summer beer" brewed for the Norwegian market. ABV is 4.5%. Somehow macro brewers have managed to convince Norwegian swill drinkers that they need "summer beers" that are even paler, thinner and more boring than their standard pilseners. And the Tuborg brand is Carlsberg’s "discount" brand in Norway, so you know what to expect ... Very pale yellow colour, low head. Grassy and artificial candy notes in the aroma. Flavour ... well, what flavour? This beer is nearly void of any flavour, there’s just a faint acidity to let you know that you’re not drinking water. Not worthy of the name "beer".

Sampled RBESG 2006 Grand Tasting. Very pale colour. Minimal aroma, tasteless light lager piss, 33 calories, slightly sweet. Avoid. Oh, well - Venezuela was a new "beer country" for me ...

(500 ml can). Very light colour, moderate head. Weak aroma. Hardly any flavour or aftertaste at all, just a hint of bitterness. If it wasn't for the alcohol you might as well drink CB's "crystal clear source water". As if their ordinary pilsener wasn't bland enough... This "vacation pils" needs to be sent on a looong vacation - on its own. Avoid!

VERY pale golden colour, but a decent head. Another "ice beer" for people who don't like the taste of beer, but want the buzz. Like all ice beers, hardly any flavour at all. You don't want it.

(440 ml can.) I knew what to expect here, but bought a can to rate it anyway! Pale golden colour, fizzy like a soda, no head. A slight fruitiness in the weak aroma, flavour is next to none. Fizzy water with alcohol. "To be served ice cold" - bah! Swill drinkers who love American "light" or low carb beers have now found a way to survive in Norway. People who love real beer, on the other hand, should avoid this sorry excuse of a "beer" by all means.

250 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Golden colour, minimal head. Weak aroma of citrus, avocado, boiled vegetables and cheap white wine. Flavour is very bland and un-fresh (dirt, dust), metallic finish. Avoid.

No - no - no!! This n/a "beer" is definitely to be avoided. The sickly aroma and flavour of over-boiled vegetables, baby porridge and wet cardboard leaves nothing to please anyone who actually LIKES beer.

Bottle, labelled Legends Export. RBESG 2005, Grand Tasting. My first Barbados beer. Typical pale lager appearance. Some hops in the otherwise "industrial" aroma. Terrible industrial metallic flavour.

330 ml green bottle, from a Bali supermarket. ABV is 0%. Very pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. "Chemical" sweetish aroma (various preservatives are actualy added to this "beer"), notes of unfermented wort, cooked vegetables, pear drops and rotting fruits and vegetables, pretty disgusting. Sweet flavour, sugary and "chemical", no bitterness. Undrinkable - a real drainpour.

Aug. 2017: Shared bottle at local tasting. Golden colour. Aroma of wort and grain, really bad. Has probably not been in contact with yeast. Sourish awful flavour. Never again!

Sample from bottle at Vectura-messe, as Red Horse Beer. ABV is 8%. Brewed for San Miguel in Hong Kong. Clear golden colour. Awful aroma. Bad flavour too, drainpour. The only reason to drink this is if you are an alcoholic living on the street in Hong Kong in a cardboard box.

310 ml can, kindly shared by gunnar at local tasting. ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, low white head. Minimal aroma, just a hint of sewage. The flavour has a hint of citrus, and is otherwise very bland, with a metallic finish.

March 2024: 330 ml can, from Rema 1000 Jørpeland. Distributed by Ringnes, produced by Carlsberg Litauen. Slightlly hazy pink to red colour, small off-white to pink head. Intense aroma of real raspberries and artificial raspberry essence. Sweet and sugary flavour of artificial raspberry essence and glucose syrup. Hints of lemon and malts in the background. Not very pleasant to drink - won't buy again.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 7.0%. Murky reddish brown colour, lots of disgusting and lumpy floaties in the end pour. Hardly any head. Aroma of maple syrup, pancakes and honey, just a hint of blueberries. Medium sour flavour with lactic acid, otherwise the same elements as the aroma. Unpleasant beer - drainpour.

February 2002: I got this in a 4,7% version in Norway some years ago. According to other reviewers, the slightly increased alcohol hasn't helped much. Are the Swedes as unsuccessful with beer as they are in the Winter Olympics?

Dec. 2019: 500 ml bottle, from SPAR Hirtshals. Slightly hazy golden colour, moderate to small white head. Typical n/a beer aroma of unfermented pilsener wort and maize baby porridge. The flavour is first slightly citric, then grainy and unpleasant, ending in a metallic bitterness. Drainpour.
