A light yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is of corn and metal and so is the flavor with a dry end.

Pale yellow fizzy, light hazy lager with a froathy head. Wheaty malt with notes of sulfur. Thin corn and malt taste with chalky notes and very light hops. Thin and watery. Still, thanks for this Icelandic find, Piscator.

Very pale yellow, totally clear. Traces of very slight white head. Nose of chaff, a whiff of cocos, grain & vaguely iodine. Taste is unbelievably subdued, but you get an impression of a balanced bitter hop / sweet pale malt ratio. Given you can taste trough the water. Mouthfeel is VERY watery, no carbonation to speak of. No aftertaste, neither. If this is the same as one of the other listed Víking brews, I blame my pal Eirikur for sending me an Icelandic beer he didn't rate himself. The ABV seems to confirm this. What "Gylltur", let alone the rest of the label means, I've no idea. Unless it means "lots of water, precious little else"?
