Leifur is brewed with wild Arctic thyme and heather, Belgian yeast and hops that deliver a tingling aroma of crushed pepper and citrus.
Leifur is named after the Icelandic explorer Leifur (the Lucky) Eiríksson, the first European to set foot in North America – almost 500 years before Christopher Columbus. Leifur discovered a lush landscape with plentiful stores of salmon, vines and grapes, and so named the land Vinland (Vineland).

Christmas present from my sister-in-law's Iceland holiday. Floral aroma. Low key funk. Bright amber. A hint of a haze. Bu boy translucent white head starts off impressively but soon fades. Light with a sour kick. Citrus and spices. Medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry finish. Decent stuff. Enjoyable saison that does what you expect from the style.

Its a perky little number, aroma subtle though (not getting much) There is a little apple in the mouth and some late yeast comes through. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5
