50cl can from a grocery store in Reykjavik. Pours clear pale golden with a lasting, white head. Mild grainy aroma with hint of grassy hops. Moderate sweet, not much flavour, but a fairly nice bitterness. Watery and certainly not exiting, but drinkable enough.

Pale blond color. Light malt and corn aroma. The flavor is almost missing; dry, with low bitterness.
Useless.
