Bottle from Vinbudin, Reykjavik. Pours hazy amber colour, topped with a medium sized, white ehad. Nice citrusy and tropical fruits in the nose - very lovely. Medium bitterness with citruses, medium fruity sweet. Sparkly texture and lighter body. Medium lasting aftertaste. Proper citrusy pale ale.

From Nate: pours a clear gold with some head. Rank malt liquor/euro strong lager aroma wafts over to my nose from two feet away; I know this is not going to be pleasant, but it is 9:20 pm and I am at work... and that is not pleasant either. Yeah you do have to hold your nose a bit. Yeah it is sweet. Yes, I dread the thought of this becoming warm. It is swill, but at this point, it is all I got.

Can from Vinbudin, Hevragerdi. Appearance - very pale and transparent golden. Thin head. Nose - lime and light malt. Taste - lime dominated, cereal at the back. Palate - light bodied with a sweet and sour middle. Dry but not as dry as expected finish. Overall - ok.

From Nate: pours light brown with a light beige head. Aroma is caramel and a sort of old school candy sweetness. Taste is standard amber lager... slightly metallic, caramel candy finish... perhaps a touch of fruitiness. Not a great beer but quite drinkable.

33 cl bottled purchased at Naustið in Husavik, Iceland. The pour is mostly clear golden yellow with a well formed one inch foamy white head. The aroma is soft floral hop and cereal malt. The taste is a balance of the cereal malt, which is somewhat chewy and the floral hop carries the back. The palate is medium to light bodied with active carbonation and the floral finish. Just OK.

Bottle from Vinbudin, Hevragerdi. Appearance - golden with some head. Nose - green herbal and saaz spice. Taste - green pepper, bitter salad leaves. Again spice. Palate - light bodied with a long lean middle and end. Overall - great example of Pilsner style. Comparable to Jever.

Got this or perhaps another beer as Viking Lettr: abv is the same and this is definitely a pale light lager. Oh wait, I just gave away my review. Fizzy large head. Super pale body. Light sweetness. Very few hops used. Blerp.
