0,33 l bottle at the restaurant of our hotel in Rethymno. BB 19.01.2025. Cloudy copper, huge light beige head. Malty aroma, little bit toasted with resin and pine, fruity background. Tastes the same, increasing malty with fruity parts. Decent but present bitterhop. Above average carbonation. Nice one.

Seriously malty aroma, nice bitter us hoppy balance to it.
Flavor is very malty , like a red ale, with a solid full bodied fat bitter hoppiness, that is quite bitter, not pine grapefruit, more sort of malty bitter. I Wonder what hops have beer use, they suit rhe beer really well. Very tasty apa. At Taverna Harakas old rounded chersonissos

Bottle shared with Laura at hotel balcony at Crete, Greece. Sort of orangy to dark unfiltered apple juice color, white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, decently hoppy, but a little too much of the hops that lean towards apple and yellow fruit hops, not enough sticky hops. Nonetheless quite okay. Bit too much carbonation also btw.

26 September 2019. At Cretan Gastronomy Days, Heraklion, Crete. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy dark orange with a lasting, thick, foamy, off-white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of biscuit, peanuts, orange peel, mango, pink grapefruit, red apple, pine needle. Taste is light fruity sweet, hinting at apple & mango, stronger notes of biscuity, bready & nutty maltiness; subtle piney & fruity hoppiness underneath, sourish accent. Dry, earthy hoppy finish, lingering biscuit, orange & mango. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Sufficiently bitter in the end but perhaps a tad more malt-sided in general. Tasty & authentic APA.
