It might be interesting to look at the parent brands and see if this more a matter of who has the most resources for marketing and export sales.

I can attest that the one for norway certainly matches what you might be hinting at. Ringnes is by far the biggest brewer in norway. And while they do own some relatively OKish brands, the one pictured here is by far the blandest one that is not that far removed from water. It's only popular because it's cheap. And its cheap for a reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if a dane would chime in with a similar statement about Carlsberg, although that sentiment could be more suitable for Tuborg. I'll defer to Danish input on this.
