(Can 50 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Discreet aroma of malt and cardboard. Thin and watery body with very vague notes of malt. No bitterness. Not bad, just....very Icelandic. Courtesy of faroeviking. 150207

Canned. A golden beer with no head. The aroma is of sour brewing cereal, combined with cardboard, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of sour brewing mash and cardboard, and the body is thin.

Bottle at Brickskeller. Boring beer, with that said it’s about as good as a regular pale lager can hope to be.

Can, 5.6%. Citric aroma. Yellow colour, unstable white head. Thin flavour, but with a little aroma hops. Added sugar?!

Can 0,33l. Some malt in the nose. Colour like dirty water. A small rapidly disappearing white head. A sweet malty flavour with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Thanks to Rune for this gift: My first beer from Iceland.

330ml bottle at Central bar, Keflavik airport. Pale straw coloured. Small head. Watery aroma. Some hops in an otherwise anonymous taste. Dry finish. Nothing more than a thirst-quencher.

330ml can on flight FI 325 from Oslo to Reykjavik (31.08.06). Bright straw yellow body with a thin white foam. Slightly malty aroma. Flavour has notes of sweet corn and hops. Thin palate. Lively carbonated.

(can) Clear yellow colour with a mid-sized diminishing frothy white head. Very shy and slightly sweet corny aroma, slightly acidic with poor traces of hops. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, mild bitter flavour with a sourish touch, fizzy mouthfeel; dry, slightly bitter, slightly tart & slim finish. Pretty poor brew, but I was grateful to get a six-pack of Gull at one of the rare Vínbúð before crossing the Sprengisandur in August 2004.

Can (a gift from MoritzF): Pale golden, mid-sized clean white rocky head, lively carbonation; sweet grainy nose with a touch of lemon and some traces of a grassy hoppiness; light bitter flavour; mild bitter-citrousy finish. Ther’s nothing wrong with this, but they are a little bit too proud of their clean icelandic water: they put too much of it into the brew......

At first glance - a very fast glance - the can reminded me a lot of Miller Lite - but this version is probably made with the cleanest glacier water from Iceland...

A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is primarily of straw, while the flavor has notes of both malt and straw. The body is as thin as cold water coming right from the glacier. I find nothing wrong - just plain boring.
