2.2 Can. 5.6%. Best before 18.11.18. Pours a clear straw yellow/pale golden, with a white head. Decent lacing. Sweetish aroma. Cereals. Dusty, light cardboard overtones. Fruity, light citrusy, spicy-ish notes as it warms. Flavour is sweetish with cereals as well. Hint of cardboard. Light fruity note as it warms. Somewhat dry, bitter finish. Lingering citrusy and grassy hints. Slightly oily palate. Overall fairly standard lager i.e. nothing special; decent bitterness though. 21.07.18.

2.8 Plechovka z letiska. Vona sladkosladova fatba bleda. Chut podobna voni. Na konci sladke

2.6 Tap at fredriksen. Nose is butter, bread, steamed vegetables. Palate is buttery bread, citrus, bitter finish. Pretty meh lager.

3.3 Blik 50cl thuis. Hoppen en malten, grainy, bitters. Gemiddeld. (6-2017).---.

3.2 This is the best beer 👌we brought this and boli and there was no comparison this golden nectar made our Icelandic break even better... thankyou Iceland

2.2 Can. Yellow with medium head. Some malty, some sweet, not much anything. Ok quite easy to drink.

2.4 Pours yellow with a white head. Grainy sweetish aroma with a little hop spicyness. Taste is sweetish malty and grainy followed by cloying sweetness that finishes spicy but a bit watery.

5.0 víking gylltur fer alltaf vel í mig

1.6 16 oz can shared from a Viking variety pack, thanks solidfunk! Clear whitish yellow with off-white head. Aromas of corn, wheat. Tastes of corn, malt, skunk, wheat. Light body with a dry finish.

2.6 From a can shared at the DC RB gathering Memorial Day weekend 2017. Pours a clear pale gold with an off white head. Flavors of corn and other mysterious grains. Oof.

2.7 Pours golden with a small white head. A regular lager beer, no surprises at all.

1.9 Acceptable like the fact that salmon os relatively less expensive than most other foods in Iceland. Golden pour in a plastic cup at a roadside grill in Vik with a crappy burger that cost $20. Finished it off while walking down the beach towards the rock formations.

2.5 Clear amber beer, thin head. Light, sweet aroma. Taste is a bit sickly-sweet but when chilled it takes the edge off. Absolutely average.

2.6 500ml can, shared. Clear, golden with a small white head. Grassy aroma, slightly metallic flavour, gloopy mouthfeel. Fairly average lager

2.9 Like other standard lager - tastes like slightly malted water with carbonation

1.0 330ml bottle. Pours clear light golden with small white head, doesn’t last. Aroma is weak, malty, grainy. Taste is sweet malty, corny, grainy, watery. Fizzy carbo, watery palate, very light body. Nope

1.4 Clear golden beer with small and very short white head, very light bitter, light malty, oily, short finish, not special, (I have 0.33l can with production date 15.08.16 - 14:10 and best-before 11.06.2017)

2.8 Butelka w Akureyri pita. Kolor złoty, piana znikoma, szybko znika. Aromat słodowy, wytrawne, łagodne na podniebieniu.

3.3 Miguel brought it to me from Iceland. In Teku glass. At dinner, with bratwurst sausages. Very correct. Pleasant and easy drinking, with nothing out of place. Better than our industrial lagers

2.3 0,5l Dose beim Philipino in Reykjavik. Goldgelbes klares Bier, weisser luftiger Schaum. Bieriger Lager Duft. Etwas Kork. Sanft säuerlich im Antrunk. Kork, Getreide und auch etwas Hopfen. Ganz ok zu scharfem Essen.

2.9 33cl bottle. Quite average, but taste is a bit sourish or sweetish. Good. I like it.

2.1 Golden beer with a small white head. Aroma is faint but staunch grain. This beer might be good or bad but the beer is so damn cold at Frankie’s it doesn’t matter. I’m enjoying it no matter.

3.8 Pours a heavy white head. Clear golden color. Sweet in taste, very crisp and nice mouthfill. Some bitterness. Overall a good beer.

1.8 Tasted on 21.10.15. Many thanks to Kiciu? for this gift from exotic trip. Malty and metallic aroma with unpleasant hints of sulfur. Straw colour. Head disappearing to ring. Malty taste with noticeable bitterness with unpleasant aftertaste. Weird and unpleasant but also interesting.

1.5 Prezentacja: delikatnie opalizujące, kryształowo-złote, obfita biała piana o średnich okach, opada do wysepek, średnio zdobi szkło; Aromat: lipa, siano, miód, pilsowa słodka szmata; Odczucie: ciało średnie, wysoko nasycone, natychmiast powoduje wzdęcia; Smak: miód, żelazo, cukier, średnia ku niskiej pilsowa goryczka, przyjemna; Ogólnie: zbyt słodkie i żelaziste, ciężkie dla żołądka; na plus przemawia fajna goryczka.

2.1 Bue en bouteille de 33cl. Bière basique. Grain principalement. Peu d'intérêt. Kronembourg locale.

2.0 Can, DØE Julefrokost @ Aarhus Bryghus. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt, grain, hay, paper. Flavor is malt, grainy, cardboard, hay. Thin to medium body, average carbonation. 161215

3.4 Regular beer, had it on tap. NOthing special a little bit sweet and golden in features. THin in character.

2.5 Un bière tout à fait banale, manquant de corps de profondeur. Pas d’intérêt.
