Keg at Kaffibarinn - Reykjavik. Pours clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Crispy cereal in the nose, some straw, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with some further pale grains, cereal, low bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty crisp on the finish, with further crispy cereal, pale bread, hay. Nice, easygoing cheap lager.

Canned October 28, 2016, drunk 11/27/16 on WOW Airlines flight to Iceland.
Clear with a large white head showing moderate retention. Golden, well-carbonated.
Smells quite clean with mineral water, pleasant cereal character and light honey-like grains. Maybe a hint of metallic character, but very, very minimal. None of the major offenders here; DMS, diacetyl or acetyldehyde. Very light hint of grassy hops help lighten things and there is no alcohol or oxidation.
In the mouth it shows ample carbonation, not too obnoxiously fizzy with honey and mineral water. Lots of grain and light cereal with hints of pepper and grass. Clean, drinkable and refreshing. I quite enjoyed it. Maybe on the sweet side, but I didn’t find the malt sugars problematic.

33cl bottle at Keflavík Airport. A typical Eurolager; straw coloured, thick white head; cereal aroma and taste; and a light bitter finish. No off-tastes, but nothing endearing either.

Medium white head. Clear yellow body with carbonation. Faint mealy aroma. Dryish mealy taste with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish mealy fruity aftertaste with faint buttery notes. Very low on flavour, but generally OK. (0.5l draft at Krua Siam, Akureyri.)
