Small white head. Clear yellow body with light carbonation. Light herbal cardboard aroma. Sweetish, with faint dryness, mealy peas and fruit taste. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Dryish-sweet rubbery cardboard aftertaste with mealy herbal notes. It’s not too bad, but could be better. (0.33l bottle, from Vinbudin Kringlan, Reykjavik.)

On tap at Micro Bar, pours a cloudy dark orangey brownish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out bready malts and a hint of caramel. Flavour brings out toasted malt and bready notes. Dry and balanced, but clean. Meh.

On tap at Kaldi, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out piney hops and some grassy notes. Flavour is fairly standard but clean, with notes of piney hops, fruity notes and a bitter aftertaste. Nothing special but solidly made.
