A new white ale containing flavours of mango, passion fruit and ginger is now for sale at the state alcohol shops in Iceland. "Baldur, our brewing master was given the task to brew the best white ale in the world and we've now been developing it for 18 months, " explains product developer Hilmar Geirsson at Coca-Cola European Partners Iceland ehf. 

"We're really happy with the outcome. It's been available now since last weekend but it's been available on tap at selected restaurants and bars in the past few weeks and has had a wonderful reception," he says.  He adds that it's perfect with summer barbecues, especially to accompany light meats such as fish and chicken, sushi or Mexican food. 

The beer, Viking White Ale contains 5 % alcohol and has a fresh, fruity taste.  The bottle design features a sun compass used by the Vikings in ancient times.
