Spaði IPA
Beljandi Brugghús

Very good West Coast style IPA. I had it on tap in a tulip glass at the brewery. Hazy yellow color, small white bubbly head with good retention and some lacing on the glass. Good aroma and flavor. I believe the brewer used Simcoe. Amarillo, Cascade, and Citra hops. Nice mixture of pine, grapefruit and a little floral. Crisp mouthfeel and nicely bitter. It was great to find a nice, hoppy IPA in a little town in Iceland. I had their Chrismas beer too. Very good!

One of the better American style IPAs I've had in a wonderful little village in Iceland. Very much in the 60IBU range Cascade/Citra/Simcoe style IPA of Bell's 2 hearted and Dogfish 60 Minute.

Had on tap at Beljandi brewery. Very drinkable IPA. Citrus nose, Good balance, Nice bitterness. Happy to find a very good American style IPA while in a very small town on the Eastern coast of Iceland
