Icelandic Arctic Berry Ale

Can. Raspberry, strawberry, caramel malt and straw aroma. Yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet milky raspberry, caramel malt and lightly bitter straw flavor. Good body. A pleasant fruit beer.

330 ml can into pint glass, canned on 4/6/2016. Pours hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lightly tart blueberry, blackberry, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, light clove, wheat, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of berries, spice, fruity/earthy yeast, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart blueberry, blackberry, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, light clove, wheat, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and yeast spice on the finish; with lingering notes of blueberry, blackberry, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, wheat, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Nice complexity, balance, and solid robustness of berries, spice, fruity/earthy yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and creamy/grainy mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very good fruited witbier. All around good complexity, balance, and solid robustness of berries, spice, fruity/earthy yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Wish the berry flavors were as strong as the aromas, but it was still very enjoyable.

Draft. A hazy yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of bilberries, straw, and wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of bilberries, wheat, and straw, leading to a dry finish.

Can: Hazy gold with a huge, puffy white head. Aroma is blueberry, light grain malt. Taste is sweet, light, soft blueberry malt, Pretty decent, and I’m not a blueberry fan.....pretty much just one note throughout...blueberry. However, it was pretty nice and tasty.
