On tap at The Beer Spa Restaurant & Bar, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw, biscuity malt and some herbal hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with straw, biscuity malt and gentle hops. Fresh and clean, but pretty forgettable.

On tap at The Beer Spa Restaurant & Bar, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a hint of caramel. Flavour is nice and malty, with bready malt, some caramel and dark red fruits. Not all that complex, but it's nice and malty. Good stuff.

Keg at Kaldi Bar. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is quite fresh, fragrant, bready malts, light floral, toasty grain and grass. The taste is dry, more bitter than I would expect from a golden ale, grassy, cracker, white bread, dough and straw with a lingering bitterness through the finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very drinkable stuff with a good bitterness. Very drinkable.

Light roast. Dark brown with a decent beige head. Dark roast and toast with some dark fruits.

Nice light grains. Clear gold with a decent white head. Grains and a crisp finish. Quite solid.

Dark roast and a touch buttery. Jet black brown with a decent beige head. Dark chocolate and roast.

Dark roast. Deep brown with a rich beige head. Bitter, up front roast, hops and roast bitterness. A bit too roasty.

Bottle from Vinbudin, Hevragerdi. Appearance - deep amber to brown with a generous fluffy head. Nose - pine and biscuit. Taste - light toffee and biscuit. Palate - creamy and slightly sweet. A bit thin. Overall - ok.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear dark copper with a thin off-white head. Aromas of pine and biscuit, light toffee. Taste is light sweet, hints of caramel, faint balancing bitterness. Bit watery.

Bottle from Vínbúðin Austurstræti in Reykjavík. Pours dark copper with a beige head. Aroma is floral with some slightly roasty malt. Almost med body. Seems a bit more like a hoppy amber than a pale ale. Slightly roasty malt with a good amount of hop that seems floral. Reads like an EPA, but it doesn’t really come together that way for me.
