I have had better pale ales, but this one isnt bad at all.
Keep on the good work Skagfirðingar.

Gæðingur’s best product so far. Nice golden and hazy color. Extremely frothy when one gets in on tab. Recommend everybody to taste on their visit to Iceland.

For such a good Pale Ale the head is a bit of a disappointment. It starts with too much of it, then it dissipates too fast. The aftertaste is a tad too bitter
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle @ Micro Bar. Unfiltered. Cloudy, dark orange appearance with an off white head. Toasty, woody, herbal, a touch fruity, somewhat spicy aroma. Light orange citrusy, herbal/leaf, woody, slightly chewy, a little tangy, light pine flavor. Pretty interesting beer, especially unfiltered, but I have mixed thoughts about it.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Micro Bar Reykjavik This pale ale was one the best in Iceland. The bartender said the brewery was small located about 3 1/2 hours North of Reykjavik. The owner of the brewery has ownership in the Micro Bar. The ale poured a cloudy orange with grapefruit on the nose and in the flavor. There was lacing. The cascade hops provided the citrus aroma and flavors. The balanced ale had average carbonation. The finish had a a full mouth of hops bitterness. This is a fine pale ale worth trying.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2012 an excellent session beer, unfiltered and hoppy. The best thing so far from this small brewery.
