Canned at Petelax Beer Festival. Pale golden, clear, brief head. Vague atoma of salt and alcohol. Sugary with flavour of iodine and chemicals. Restrained awfulness, but nothing good in sight. Alcohol is the most evident component.

2.1/10 Appearance 2 Aroma 2 Flavor 2 Texture 2 Overall 2.5
Canned at Petelax Beer Festival. Pale golden, airy head. Dusty fruity nose. Sweetish and very thin. Flavour of aluminium and blood. Extremely thin even for a 2.25% beer, so both flavourwise and body-wise it’s like chewing on aluminium foil. No bitterness. I guess malt and hops must be expensive on Iceland, but water cheap.
