V Skúli bar Reykjavik. Prijemna leziakova vona. Bledojantarova farba. Chut sladova do sladka na konci aj horka.

Flaska från Islands monopol. Tack Oli! Mörk med ljusbeiget skum. Sött och lätt kryddigt med snällt rostade toner. Ganska typisk, lättdrucken julöl. Gör sig säkert bra till lite fetare och mustigare mat.
