  Finally, the first microbrewery in Iceland is born, and this is their first production. I must say, that I was a bit dissapointed they chose a bohemian pilsner to be their first brew, since the two macrobreweries here have tried to do that before, but I guess they have to secure the business with something that is going to sell, although it would have been nice maybe to see a wheat beer or something a but unusual. Anyway, poured into a Budvar footed pilsner glass, much darker than expected, with a thick dence head, which is still in my glass after 5 minutes. Aroma vice, this is the icelandic champion, this must be the first icelandic beer that does NOT smell foul! Maltiness, floral notes, a bit hoppy. Taste is also something icelanders have not experienced before, this is NOT watery. It actually has a plecent palate and is quite typical for the style. All the ingridients except the water are imported from the Czech republic, including the Saaz hops. This is a nice brew, maybe it could have been a bit hoppier but this is very plecent and it does not taste icelandic, which is extremely good. Very good first brew and it will be interesting to see what they brew next.

  a bit overrated in my opinion. Huge aroma of pure vanilla. Very carbonated with that vanilla aftertaste again. Tiny hints of spices. An incredibly avarage beer.
