330 ml bottle from Santorini, Greece. Thanks Kat! Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a large, thick khaki head and excellent retention. Spotty lacing. Hoppy and yeasty aroma. Tastes like a Hefeweizen to me. Strong yeasty flavor up front and light hops in the finish. No caramel notes. Not very red ale-like. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Just too yeasty for me.

Cloudy amber gold with a bubbly white head. Sweet fruit malt on the nose, a touch of pine and citrus rings the dark fruit and caramel malt in the flavour, finishes dry with a tiny hint of bitterness
