330mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle berry notes upfront, with little else. Flavour is very simple, with the bilberrries dominating - little else to speak of. Lacking depth, but the berry character is fair. Alright.

Can from Vinbudin, Hevragerdi. Appearance - cloudy orange with a generous fluffy head. Expected some colour from the berries! Nose - tart berry note. Taste - creamy blueberry jam. Distinctively blueberry. Palate - sweet and creamy. Decent balance on the finish. Overall - good.

11.2 ounce can from Woodman's Oak Creek. Hazy yellow, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of berry, yogurt, wheat. Taste is berry yogurt, straight up, and some wheat in the finish. Medium bodied. Odd.

Can kindly delivered by dejan from Iceland, thanks pal! Nordic summer ale! No citruses but berries instead, no fancy whateverstyleIPA but solid witbier. Bit heavy and short lasting, but I guess that's how summer looks like up there. Cheers.
