Cytrusy, kolendra, karmel, finisz zbożowy. Barwa głębokiego złota, piana powoli redukuje się do krążka, ładny lacing. Goryczka niska, palona. Solidny belg, to co zapowiada to daje.

American style amber ale (or red ale) by an industrial brewery in Atalanti on the Greek mainland; from tap at RedKokkino beerhouse in Agia Galini, Crete. Thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, pale yellowish beige, large-bubbled, breaking head on a clear pure and deep orange-glowing reddish-amber beer. Aroma of biscuit, unsalted peanuts, dried apricot, dried thyme, hint of Betterfood, dried orange peel to even vague bergamot, old honey, some onsetting oxidation. Sweet (even slightly sugary) onset but clean and sleek, hints of dried peach, red apple and apricot perhaps but non-estery with minerally carbonation effect; smooth but rather thinnish biscuity and caramelly malt sweet middle with very mildly toasty-bitterish edge, paired with a late herbal hoppiness, providing some gentle bitterness – malt and residual sugars sweetness remains, however, dominant. A faint whiff of orange peel passes by too. Very clean, slick red ‘ale’ – in fact I am wondering if this is really an ale, it felt rather lager-like, in which case this beer is to be reclassified as a Wiener, I guess… Anyway: in a village in the south of Crete this was the only beer ‘other’ than bland industrial lager so a welcoming distraction – in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, as they say.

Tap at Barley Cargo, Athens. Not much aroma. Border of red and gold colour. Sweet flavour. Not that impressing. Easy going for 7%
