After last week's Norse invasion now we've got an Icelandic Viking hiding between the nasturtiums in the greenhouse.

This is a White Ale, brewed in Iceland, 60km away from the Arctic Circle with some of the purest water in the world.

It pours very clear, very clear for what I expected to be a wheat bear. This is more along the crystal wheat beer style. Lovely generous head that stays on.

Putting the bottle behind the glass produces a pretty cool image.

The aroma is wheaty, some floral notes and a tiny bit of orange. Tastes crisp, the fruitness of the coriander shines through the wheat and the orange comes after; mouthfeel is a bit on the watery side. All in all, a nice refreshing beer, but not extraordinary. Not feeling quite like a viking, maybe I should have drank it from the skulls of my enemies... if there's a next time...

My little avocado sapling is growing, more leaves are developing.

Lemon cucumbers are still producing like crazy.

I probably have thousands of these tiny cucamelons now. These plants grow like there's no tomorrow and expand everywhere.

That's about it, the Icelandic invader was slayed in the end, but not before giving another nice pic.

Thanks for having a look!
