I know they have Einstok; is that the best of the lot?
how can it be the best???
for the liquid gold inside,
hasn't had the ultimate test...
Originally posted by no1marauderI have not tasted it but it looks like its a wheat beer, which means its light with coriander/peppery tones. ABV, 5.2, not too heavy. Gets a fairly goods review. Not a big fan of wheat beers, preferring Pale Ales, Indian Pale Ales, Porters and Stouts.

I misread this thread title as "Icelandic White Whale". So at first, I thought people were making beer from whales somehow.

I'll probably give the White Ale a shot at some point. Thanks for the input.
