3.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
50cl can (4,7%) from Vínbúðin, Borganes. Pours clear very pale golden with a white head. Mild grainy aroma with cooked vegetables, some lightly fruity and floral notes and hints of hops. Moderate to medium sweet, not much flavour or bitterness. Quite standard pale lager, not much to write home about, but drinkable.
