Very pale yellow, totally clear. Traces of very slight white head. Nose of chaff, a whiff of cocos, grain & vaguely iodine. Taste is unbelievably subdued, but you get an impression of a balanced bitter hop / sweet pale malt ratio. Given you can taste trough the water. Mouthfeel is VERY watery, no carbonation to speak of. No aftertaste, neither. If this is the same as one of the other listed Víking brews, I blame my pal Eirikur for sending me an Icelandic beer he didn't rate himself. The ABV seems to confirm this. What "Gylltur", let alone the rest of the label means, I've no idea. Unless it means "lots of water, precious little else"?

A light yellow beer with an OK head. The aroma is slightly sour malt aroma - as if it has been brewed on brewing cereal. The flavor is also slightly sour but with an OK malt taste and ending on a slight bitterness. A very standard pilsener

A light yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sour as if there has been used brewing cereal in it. The flavor is kind of flat and a bit sour - but it''s an OK maltblend that has been used for it. It doesn''t really taste like a beer.

The Icelandic water is supposedly the best on earth, but I do not understand why they should label it beer?

While drinking this beer one can easily conclude that barley is expensiveon Iceland, but water is not.

You know, I've heard that Iceland is relatively pollution-free. That might explain why this water tastes so pure. What's that? 'Bjor' means 'beer'? Really?
