Can. White head. Golden color.
Earthy, floral, and spicy hops. Biscuit and toasted cracker malts. Crisp and clean. Light, smooth, easy drinking. Solid pils.

Look - normal looking Pilsner
Smell - grainy sweet light malts
Taste - slight bitter grainy almost German
Feel - medium body and carb, could use less body
Overall - pretty German style, ok but I’m not a pils fan

On tap (approx. 20 oz pour!) at R5 Micro Bar in Akureyri. Nothing fancy about it, but gets job done.

Amazing surprise. Good citrus aroma, excellent taste. Beer at the same time light and intense. A good option if you want something light like a pilsener and aromatic like an IPA.

A- Pours a very pale golden topped with a 1/2 finger white head that doesn't stick around too long. Similar to a BMC lager.
S- Bready malt with a spicy hop undertone. Nice and clean.
T- Bready malt that leads to a spicy hop bite. Definitely not complex, just good, solid flavour.
M- A lot bigger body than I was expecting: Medium body and moderate-high carbonation. Not high enough to come off as aggressive. Nice and creamy feel.
O- As the saying goes, looks can be deceiving... From the appearance, this beer looks like an average lager that could be strung in with the likes of Coors, Budweiser, etc. but dig deeper and you'll find a brew thats packed with good flavour and a creamy mouthfeel
