12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 5/2/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.3%. Overall this is a nice light lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Nicely flavorful and not watery for the ABV. No skunk at all surprisingly. Clean pils malts and nice earthy hop presence for the style. A nicely enjoyable offering, and great style example. Probably the best macro light lager I've ever had!

pale yellow colour, practically no head at all; aroma and taste of agrass, grains, rotten vegetable, cardboard and metallic notes - 'fortunately' very watery, so neither the aroma nor the taste have such intensity which would make it undrinkable

330ml bottle at Eden Park, poured into a plastic cup. Pours sickly pale with a big white head. Lemon, grass, bit of cheese, plenty of weird savoury stuff, a fair bit of carbonated water stuff. Pretty bad.

can found in rethymo, crete. clear yellow, small white head. very mild aroma, notes of euro hops and faint malts. flavor is faint malts, mineral water. dry easy drinking quality industrial beer, in a mineral water flavored version. take it if you can’t decide between beer and sparkling water, it tastes like half and half.

New bad beer, lower quality, lower aroma, lower taste. wodniste piwo jaśniutkie z minimalna pianka, nawet jako bezalkoholowe wypada kiepsko. W dodatku jest cos co nienawidzę w przemyslowych piwach globalnych, a mianowicie kukurydza. sprawia wrazenie jakby z puszki ten syrop z kukurydzy rozmieszać z woda z kranu. Nawet w upaly potrafi zepsuc nastrój. Odradzam.
