mmather (119) - Colorado, USA - APR 15, 2008
From a 500ml can. With the big letters ’Lite’ and from Iceland, I expected the worst, however this beer greatly exceeded expectations. This just makes it a drinkable, normal lager typical of just about every other euro lager. Nicely drinkable, but a very typical lager.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 26, 2006
An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also light notes of caramel and grain. The flavor is sweet malty with a dry grainy end. Quite good for a Lite beer - and an Icelandic beer.
