Kooinda Valhalla Golden Ale




VALHALLA!

Valhalla was the 'heaven' of the Viking. It was said that upon entering Valhalla, each viking received a horn full of golden ale.

Word.

Vikings are pretty cool. Right up there with dragons and ninjas.

Whenever someone tries to rag on my fire chin beard, I remind them that they better watch themselves unless they want any raping and/or pillaging going on in their village. This usually ends said ragging.

So, the question remains is this ale worthy enough to fly the flag for Valhalla?

Probably not.

It's sweet and malty, with a lemony citrus to it. The flavours gel well enough, but it is VERY light. I just can't imagine Ragnar knocking back one of these with Gunnveld and Solvig after a long day of abducting peasants.

It's a summer beer, for sure, and very easy to drink. On a 30+ degree day you could absolutely make mince meat of one of these beers.

I need some more meat on the bones personally, this beer is a bit anemic. It's a good beer though, don't let me put you off. If you like a golden ale, or light, clean summer beers you will destroy one of these.

7/10
