5951 | Schneider Weisse Tap 3: Alkoholfrei | Germany | Reduced Alcohol | 2.3
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 500 ml bottle, as Schneider Weisse Tap 3 Mein Alkoholfreies, from MENY Stadionparken. Hazy brownish golden colour, huge off-white head. The aroma has some of the usual n/a beer character of baby porridge and over-boiled vegetables, but also some wheaty notes with hints of cloves and citrus. Thin mouthfeel. Dry flavour with some hints of citrus - boring and uninteresting, but if you need a n/a beer, it is not undrinkable. |

5952 | Vestfyen Malt Øl | Denmark | Reduced Alcohol | 2.9
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5 330 ml bottle, from Superbrugsen, Skødstrup. ABV is 1.8%. Ingredients include glucose syryp and colour (E 150c). Very dark brown to ruby colour, big and creamy tan head. Sweetish aroma of malts, caramel, brown bread and syrup. The flavour is very malty, very sweet, with loads of caramel and syrup - but amazingly pleasant to drink. Hardly any bitterness. A flavourful beer with minimal alcohol, in the Danish "mørkt hvidtøl" tradition - a nice "change of pace"-beer when you have to drive afterwards. |

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 330 ml brown twist-off crown cap bottle, from Safari, Lagunen, Bergen, as Bitburger Drive 0,0% Alkoholfrei. Golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly strong grainy aroma with notes of over-boiled vegetables. The flavour is bland and boring, with some unpleasant sourish notes, and a metallic hop extract bite in the finish. |

5954 | BrewDog Nanny State (0.5%) | United Kingdom | Reduced Alcohol | 2.8
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4 330 ml bottle, from the n/a selection of Vinmonopolet. ABV is 0.5%. Amber colour, big head, slightly off-white. Lovely aroma of fruity and piney American hops. Thin moutheel. The flavour is all American hops throughout, with a very pronounced bitterness in the finish - 45 IBU sounds not shockingly high, but with a beer this thin, it is. The aftertaste is too bitter and medicinal. |

5955 | Carlsberg Light | Denmark | Reduced Alcohol | 1.9
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4 Typical "light" (which in Denmark and Norway previously always meant "low alcohol") beer. Little more to add. A 2.5% version was made for Norway. Golden colour, moderate head. A very watered down pale lager, but with some malt and very moderate hops in aroma and flavour, not totally undrinkable when you have to drive afterwards. |

5958 | Föroya Bjór Ekta Maltøl | Faroe Islands | Reduced Alcohol | 2.6
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4 500 ml clear plastic bottle, from a grocery store in Vestmanna. No ABV mentioned on the label, and yeast is not mentioned as an ingredient, but if the locals say it is 1.8%, so be it. At least it contains malts and Bavarian hops (and sugar). Dark brown colour, minimal beige head. Strong sweetish aroma of malts and caramel, a hint of smoke and seaweed. The flavour is very malty and very sweet, like a Danish hvidtøl, with loads of caramel. Good enough to drink if you have a sweet tooth, and have to drive ... |

5959 | Okkara Ljósa | Faroe Islands | Reduced Alcohol | 1.7
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 330 ml bottle, from a grocery store in Klaksvik. ABV is 2.6%. Antioxidant E300 and E223 added. Golden colour, low coarse white head. The aroma has notes of pilsener wort and citrus. Medium dry flavour, light bodied of course, boring, but some hints of malts and hops make the beer not undrinkable if you have to drive. Sourish finish. |

5960 | Nøgne Ø Stuten (Inferial Stout) | Norway | Reduced Alcohol | 3.7
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 500 ml bottle, as Nøgne Ø Stuten, unpasteurised first brew (later brews will be pasteurised), sample at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Impressive appearance - pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Roasty aroma with strong notes of coffee. Roasty dry flavour, notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Fairly bitter finish with some resinous notes. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, as expected, but this is by far the best n/a beer I’ve ever tasted. |

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 330 ml can, at Tenerife. Pale yellow colour with big bubbles, and a moderate and short-lived coarse head. The usual n/a beer aroma of unhopped wort, grain, maize and over-cooked vegetables. The flavour has some malts and is fairly sweet, a hint of hops in the finish. Not good, but not the worst n/a beer I’ve had. |

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. |

5965 | Carlsberg Non-Alcoholic | Sweden | Reduced Alcohol | 2.1
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3 330 ml green bottle, from REMA 1000. ABV is 0.5%. Crystal clear pale yellow colour, moderate but lasting white head. Heineken-like "skunky" and grassy aroma, which is a good thing, compared to other n/a beers. Sweetish notes of pilsener wort too. Thin and watery mouthfeel, as expected. Very moderate flavour, a little sweetness, a little hops. The good thing is: there are no really offensive off-flavours. If you have to drive, this beer might help you avoid dying of thirst. |

5966 | Bintang Zero | Indonesia | Reduced Alcohol | 1.3
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2 330 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. |
