Can. A clear, golden beer with a white head. Malty, sweet and a bit fruity nose. Malty and sweet flavor too, with a too evident alcohol flavor, as well as some fruityness and bitternes. Medium to full body. Sure, it’s a drinkable beer, far from being offensive, but to relate it to Christmas is bad judgement I think. (080216)

Big offwhite coarse head does not last. Deep copper body. Fruity malty aroma with caramelly notes. Dry fruity watery taste with roasty caramelly notes. Thin-bodied. Dry roasty caramelly aftertaste. Reasonably clean, but not too exiciting. (0.5l can from yngwie.)

33 cL can, thanks to faroeviking. Pours pale yellow with a huge white head. Fresh aroma, mild hoppy and light malty. Flavour is much the same with a medium dryness and a light bitterness lingering into the finish.

(Bottle, Keflavik Airport, Iceland, 31 aug 2007) Golden yellow colour with frothy white head. Malty, slightly grassy nose with som skunky notes of sour malt. Thin malty taste with hints of grassy hops and hay. Rather dry, grassy and short finish. Better than the lite beers from the US giants, but still seriously boring.

(Draught at Kaffibrennslan, Reykjavik, Iceland, 30 Aug 2007) Pale yellow colour with white head. Neutral, slightly malty nose with traces of grassy hops somewhere. Same with the taste: malty, grassy with slight notes of hops. Thin body. Not really bad, just thin and boring.

(Draught at Saga Hotel, Reykjavik, Iceland, 30 Aug 2007) Pale yellow colour with white head. Malty nose with slight notes of grassy hops (well hidden but identifiable). Same goes with the taste: malty with modest notes of grassy hops. Definitely on the thin side. Nothing wrong with it, just plain boring.

(Bottle, Saga Hotel, Reykjavik, Iceland, 30 Aug 2007) Pale yellow colour with brief white head. Malty nose with notes of grassy hops. Malty taste withe some grassy hops, balanced malt sweetness. Easy to drink, hardly exciting, but still a decent lager.
