Old rating - A gift from friends who visited Crete. A 330ml bottle, Abv 4.5. Pours a blonde colour with a white foamy head. Tastes is refreshing, not a bad beer. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 1915

--Sample (as Cretan Kings Mountain Beer), thanks oh6gdx! -- Hazy golden, small head. Honeyish nose with some bread. Sweet with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Honeyed grain. Low hop rate. Very low bitterness.

Bottle shared with Laura at hotelroom in Crete, Greece. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, softly bitter, straw / hayish a bit. Nice mouthfeel. I like this one, quite a pleasant lager imo.

Can, 4.4% as Cretan Kings Mountain Beer. Very fruity aroma, almost vinous. Almost clear golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is ok malty and dusty. Low bitterness. Clean finish.

Can, as Cretan Kings Mountain Beer. Pours slightly hazy straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and paper, with malty touches. Estery flavour with malty notes and touches with hints of hops. Estery aftertaste. Not much of any flavour apart from yeast. Poor.

Som Cretan Kings Mountain Beer. Gave fra Rune. Drukket på Lillehøgda. Stråfarget. Lavt skum som raskt blir helt borte. Nesten klar. Lett maltaroma. Smaken smørmalt. Tørr, forsiktig bitter avslutning. Anonym.

Bottled (thanks OH6MIL!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, herbs, grass and some earth. Flavour is grains, earth, herbs, some wood and mild dusty notes. Rather cardboardy finish.
