458 Lervig No Worries Wild Berries Norway Reduced Alcohol 1.5

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

330 ml can, from Helgø Meny Stadionparken. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, minimal white head. Strong and unpleasant aroma of artificial "wild berries" essence. The flavour is somewhat better, citric and not too sweet, but still with distinct notes of artificial berry essence. Decent bitterness in the finish. I'd rather have the ordinary No Worries, if you please.

472 Azvex Mana Piña Colada Smoothie Sour United Kingdom Fruit Beer 3.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Thick texture, does indeed look like a Piña Colada smoothie, opaque pale yellow colour. The can must be turned upside-down a few times prior to opening. Aroma of pineapple and coconut. Flavour again of pineapple, coconut and alcohol - in a blind test, I might have been fooled to believe that this was a real Piña Colada longdrink. Not very sour. So if you think you don't like beer, but love a Piña Colada: try this beer! I am so fortunate to like both a variety of beers, AND Piña Coladas - lucky me!
