The Viking of Beers Viking is a premium golden lager beer brewed with the European pilsen method. The pure Icelandic water and a unique combination of malt, hobs, maize and sugar give the beer a distinct bitter taste. Gold and Silver medals from the Monde Selection Institute in Bruxells testify to the unquestionable quality and Viking is the only Icelandic beer that has received such a prestigious international recognition. Our brew master, Baldur Karason, takes pride in selecting the best barley and hobs and carefully oversees the brewing process from malting and fermentation to bottling. Water is the single most important ingredient of beer and the Icelandic water is especially suitable for brewing lager beer due to its purity and "softness" Viking is steadily building its market share and is the best selling beer in the state run monopoly shops followed by Thule, another product of the Viking brewery. The draught version of Viking is the most popular beer in pubs and restaurants. Viking Premium Gold has 5,6% alcohol content and is available in 500ml and 330ml cans and 330ml glass bottles.

    lt had a nice foamy head but tasted a bit too bitter for my taste. It may have lost some of its edge as i got a six pack from my brother in law of this when he was in Iceland so it may not have been the freshest when i drank it. it did seem to have a bit of a kick to it"

    Canned. Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is mild malts, some rubber and paper. Flavour is sweet, malty, paper with some metallicness coming in the finish.

    A very clear pale gold color, but the color isn't dull. The head is wimpy and fade completely in very little time. The hop smell is similar to a Heinekin or Beck's. The flavor is light, with a light bitterness in the back. Nothing special.

    clear pale yellow colour (apparently the only possible appearence for an icelandic beer), fine head, grass aroma with notes of haye, sweet and sparkling, medium-bodied, dry light herbal finish - almost acceptable
