We use new world exotic hops and introduce Santorini honey and citrus medica to create our flagship brew. Our Blonde is "dry hopped" to aromatic perfection. Best served ice cold, with Mediterranean fare.

0,33 l bottle from a supermarket on the island of Kos. Clear golden in the glass with an one finger white head. Pale grainy smell. Taste starts with a lot of caramell. Hints of citrus. Some malt, little bit dry, also some diacetyl. Above average carbonation.

Big bleach white head, very yellow body. Soft aroma of organic trash and boiled cabbage. Flavour is smooth light sweetness, lemon, vague grain notes. Drinkable but really just another boring lager for the pile.

Bottle. Clear light golden with a short-lived white head. Aroma of herbal hops, some citrus fruits and honey. Taste is herbal and fruity plus some honey and lemons. Somehow I'm reminded of tea. Light bitter finish. Medium carbonation. Thin mouthfeel. Interesting but unfortunately really convincing.

330 ml green bottle, thanks to Holmen1. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citrus and lightstruck hops, a hint of grass and honey. Fairly clean and refreshing flavour, slightly citrussy, but the herbal hops are too moderate.

Flaske fra lokal sjappe, på hotellbalkongen i Kamari (Santorini): klar gylden med ok skum. Fruktig, avrundet og lettdrikkelig med noe citronsukat og lys honning.

Bottle, big bubbly head, clear lemon yellow color, aroma and flavor of honey and biscuit with a spicy hint, light bitterness, quite sweet. Feels like just another plain sweet lager with no specia trait that could be interpreted as coming from the Citrus Medica.

330ml bottle from Siganos wine & spirits shop. Bright golden body, minimal lacing from a fair white head. Pale malts and a note of herbal hops to the nose. Restrained taste profile of pale malts and ripe lemon. Mid-sweet grainy end. Clean in the mouth. Standard stuff. (Hotel room, Rethymnon 13.06.2017).

Bottle from supermarket in Thessaloniki. Not very nice beer, some sweet floral tastes but overall nout special. Might be nice ice cold on tap on the island.
