L: Pale straw yellow color with a fizzy white head.
S: Light grain, some sweet apple, a little cooked vegetable.
T: Light grain, some sweetness, some skunky hops, pretty typical of a very light low alcohol beer.
F: Light and crisp.
O: Very light and low ABV but not that bad tasting, I've had much worse light beers in the US.

Up until 1989, the strongest beer Icelanders were allowed to buy was 2.2%. That's horrible. Even now, there's only a small handful of state-run stores that allow you buy stronger beers, outside of restaurants. But everywhere you go, you can find this and a couple other "light" beers. And for Iceland, they're almost kind of reasonably price.
This tasted okay. Surprisingly flavorful, I guess, for such a light beer, but nowhere near as crisp and refreshing as, say, Coors Light, or even O'Douls. Also, this was a 16 ounce can and I just could not finish it. I chugged and chugged and like magic the fucker wouldn't get below halfway done. So... it's not good. Not worth your time. It won't even get you drunk.

Recent gift from a friend who went to Iceland.
Pours a gold color with a finger of bubbly white head. Head quickly evaporates to a crown. No lacing.
Smell consists of light malt and grain.
Some light sweetness. Overall, it makes me feel like I am drinking a Coors. Somewhat excessive carbonation.
Not something I would want to drink long term. The low ABV thankfully made it possible for me to pound this back and move on to something better.

Pours a one finger white head that vanishes leaving no lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and light bodied. Slight hoppy nose. Flavor is hoppy, bitter and musty, slight lingering bitter aftertaste. Green 330ml bottle 600 ISK ~ $7.20 from a GullFoss Kaffi. From my notes - 7/21/2008.

A friend had a layover in Iceland and brought me back a can since he knows I like beer. This comes in a blue 500mL can. I served it right out of the fridge in on of my Harpoon IPA glasses.
Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, light golden with a two-finger, fluffy, white head that fades to a heterogeneous film leaving patchy lace.
Smell: Light sweet malts and a light graininess.
Taste: Lightly sweet upfront, almost flavorless in the center, with some grain and an almost imperceptible bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and watery with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Decently drinkable until it starts to warm.
