Einstök's limited summer seasonal — a witbier base brewed with Icelandic bilberries hand-picked near the Arctic Circle. Released on Sumardagurinn Fyrsti (Iceland's ceremonial first day of summer, April 20). Subtle, refreshing berry character that complements rather than overwhelms the witbier base. One of the most distinctly Icelandic beers in the range

Aroma

Subtle bilberry aromatics lead the nose, complemented by the classic witbier notes of wheat, coriander, and citrus. The Icelandic bilberries provide a delicate fruit character that doesn't overpower the traditional spice and yeast esters. A clean, inviting bouquet that suggests restraint and balance.

Taste

The palate opens with a light, refreshing entry featuring prominent berry character that integrates seamlessly with the wheaty witbier foundation. Mid-palate reveals a gentle sweetness from the bilberries balanced by subtle spice notes, while the minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows fruit and grain to shine. The finish cleanses the palate with crisp, smooth character.
