COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Formerly Egils Premium.
Egils Premium beer is the product of a unique effort that has been the characteristik mark of The Egill Skallagrímsson Brewery for a whole century. The production process is longer, the malt is masked twice and fermantation is slower and last but not least Icelandic barley is used. Altogether this gives Egils Premium a distinct quality of softness and full-bodied taste.

adnielsen (6161) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JUN 27, 2012
Bottle labeled "Egils Boli Premium." I think this is just a relabel but I’ll move it off need be. I was chatting with some drunk Icelanders and they were chugging this shit, so I thought I better try it. Really just another shitty international pale lager with notes of grain and straw but otherwise forgettable.

kiwianer (2309) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - MAR 24, 2012
Vielen dank an Jürgen für dieses Bier! Die Schaumkrone ist ok, farblich goldgelb. Der Geruch ist etwas würzig. Geschmacklich ist es würzig, malzig, etwas süßlich, kaum Fehlaromen ausser der kleinen W§ässrigkeit. Nicht Spannend aber für ein "Premium" ok!
