330 ml bottle, from a grocery store in Klaksvik. ABV is 2.6%. Antioxidant E300 and E223 added. Golden colour, low coarse white head. The aroma has notes of pilsener wort and citrus. Medium dry flavour, light bodied of course, boring, but some hints of malts and hops make the beer not undrinkable if you have to drive. Sourish finish.

330 ml bottle, from the brewery store in Velbastadur, where you are allowed to buy single bottles. ABV is 5.8%. Dark brown to ruby colour, nearly black. Moderate beige head. Roasty aroma, notes of cold coffee, distinct smoke and ashes, hints of liquorice. Relatively light bodied. Dry roasty flavour, some smoke, too moderate hops, hints of liquorice. Not bad, but could have been better.

330 ml can, at Etika, Torshavn. ABV is 5.8%. Red colour, moderate beige head. Nice hoppy aroma (American hops?), hints of orange marmalade. The flavour has moderate but pleasant American hops throughout. A nice surprise from Okkara!

500 ml bottle, from Rusan, Torshavn. ABV is 5.8%. Brewed with Faroese volcanic rocks that are heated to 800 degrees C before they are placed in the wort. Reddish amber colour, pearly carbonation, low off-white head. Nice aroma of malts, caramel and some grassy hops.Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour has some malts and caramel, without being sweet, but the body is too thin for its strength, and the hops are too moderate. Still a drinkable beer.

On tap at The Irish Pub, Torshavn. Pale golden colour, slightly hazy, minimal head. Aroma of diacetyl / butterscotch, not unpleasant though. The flavour has also one-dimensional notes of diacetyl / butterscotch (but is not too sweet), moderate hops in the finish. No masterpiece this one.

330 ml can, from the minibar in my room at Hotel Føroyar, Torshavn. ABV is 5.8%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate and unexciting aroma, some malts, just a hint of grassy hops. Fairly refreshing and well balanced flavour, where both the malts and acceptable hops come through nicely, no offensive side-flavours.
