Keg at Kaldi Bar - Reykjavik. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds crispy pale cereal, a little dough, straw. Light sweet flavour more crisp cereal, pale biscuits, mild bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more of the same - crispy biscuits and cereal. Nice simple lager.
