cant beleive I´ve not bothered to rate this before, this is one of the worst and most faul beers in the world, infact, I dont consider this beer, just a swill markated as a beer. The none alcaholic version is better, imagine that .. haha

Can 500ml.

Clear medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, grain, toasted, cardboard, light vegetables. Flavor is light moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average to short duration, thin, artificial malt sweet. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20110312]

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma and taste are dominated by water, but maybe some notes of hops.

A beer I purchased in Iceland and poured from a tall can into a pint glass to drink. It had a light gold color with modest bubbles, and a good-sized foamy white head that had good retention and cling. The aroma had grassy and grainy hops with some barley and straw, but was not too powerful. It tasted grainy and somewhat wet with a bitter tendency with sour aspects. It was a wet beer with low carbonation and a thinner finish.

CAn in Iceland. Sweetish lager, pale color. Flavour of grain and malt, not much hoppy bitterness to make this work. Seemed to be popular in the Reykjavik streets on Saturday night, though!

50 cl. can. Local gathering. Pours a golden colour with a short lasting white head. Aroma of grains and some bitter hops. The flavour is mild and bit dry with some bitterness, grains, malt and bit sweetness. Drinkable.

Tasted in Iceland on summer vacation 2005--Poured the standard straw wheat yellow. Metallic , adjunct funky, skunky nose. Beer nonetheless and I drank it with pride.
