Bottled (thanks SADESA). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some hops and mild fruity notes. Flavour is grassy hops, malts, mild maizeish notes. Rather wellbalanced.

330 ml bottle purchased at the Vín Búð - Kringlan, Reykjavik, Iceland. Pour is clear golden with small carbonation bubbles and a big, thick white head. Head is quite lasting, when it finally retreated it left behind some nice lacing. Aroma of slightly sweet corn maltiness. There is just a hint of earthy hops in the background. Taste is faintly sweet maltiness, earthy hops and then finishes with corn. The label lists Saaz, but not too much of that came through in the taste. The after taste lingers just a bit too long, and is somewhat dirty hay tasting. Overall, decently made beer, somewhere in the middle of the pack of the Icelandic beers I have had.

330 ml bottle purchased at the Vín Búð - Kringlan, Reykjavik, Iceland. Pour is light orange, ruby, brown - clear. 2 inch off white foamy head. Aroma is dirty chemical, some nut-caramel sweetness. Taste is better than the nose, somewhat sweet, smooth drinkable palate.

Bottle at Rover, Göteborg; great generosity of Pelle
Dark amber color; creamy head. Light aroma of cereals, carmel and very light Saaz. Medium body strength, with a strong caramel flavor and some dark chocolate; it has a good bitterness level, but the caramelized malts cover the hop. The end is dry, as it seems to be quite common for this brewery. Not bad.

Amber color, compact head. Quite good malt, caramel and cereals combination; light residual sweetness; fairly strong bitterness.
Uncomplicated but nice.

Deep blond color; creamy head. It has an evident dry caramel character, like a Vienna, but this one doesn’t show the Saaz. Too ordinary.

Amber color; creamy head. Nice, mild aroma of caramel and Saaz. Medium body strength; it has a dry caramel flavor, with some cereals, and the hop is a bit lost here. Pleasant.

Golden color; it actually has a nice malt profile, and a moderate grassy touch.

Blond color; nice small bubbles, but not enough to gain extra points. I’m quite surprised to find some continental hop in the aroma, light but very nice. The flavor is strange, as it is 70% Pilsner (good crispy malt), and 30% cheap Lager (there is some paper-like flavor); the mouthfeel is very dry, mostly at the end; it has a correct bitterness. A positive attempt to brew a good Pilsner.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, while the flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of caramel and a slight tickle on the tongue from the alcohol. Thanks Emil for bringing this beer to Denmark.

Bottled. an amber beer with a lazing thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, though added a light note of metal, leading to a dry bitter and slightly metallic finish. Thanks to Emil for bringing this home from Iceland.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear, golden with a small, white head. Clean, malty nose. Medium-bodied, sweetish malty with some floral accents. Light notes of sulphur before a dry finish. Kinda like a German Helles. 120108
