330 ml bottle. From Reykjavík, Iceland. Thanks to Jere!
Cloudy pale golden colour with small white head.
Grainy malty aroma with hay, corn and müsli. Smells like a healthy breakfast.
Flavour is also very grainy and malty with hay and corn again. Some mild sweetness and hints of bitterness. Dry aftertaste.

Bouteille de 33cl. Bue lors de la soirée Islande avec Boul, Patrick, Julien et Pier-Luc. Bière jaune translucide classique lager blonde, la mousse est blanche. Le nez n’offre rien de particulier avec des arômes de grain, maïs et des effluves sucrée. La bouche est classique légère, une touche de miel est perceptible et les saveurs de grains sont dominants.

From bottle at SlovakSniper & Rodenbach99 Iceland super tasting, merci beaucoup Yan, Yan et Pat! Pale gold pour, thin white head. Lots of corn in the aroma, quite sweet and grainy smelling. Taste is grainy with honey notes. Palate: Light body, medium carbonation, slight honey-like sticky feeling. Quite drinkable premium lager.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 SlovakSniper (1369) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 2, 2011
(Sample at rodenbach99 Iceland beer festival) Bright golden in color with a ring of foam. Sweet dry corn, ultra pale malt and hay on the nose. Flavors are the same with, this time, a touch of citrus. Body is weak with a lively carbonation and a thin texture. Finale is inoffensive, maybe some bitter notes but, I’m still not sure. Many thanks to Yan for bringing back this bottle from Iceland.
