0,33 l bottle from a supermarket in Rethymno. Cloudy golden in the glass, small one finger white head. Pale grain, some hay and maybe some coriander on the nose. Taste is pale grainy, dry orange in the background. Some bitter hop. Below average carbonation. Okay.

Gave fra Rune. Drukket på Lillehøgda. Amber. Nesten klar. Middels høyut luftig skum som daler passe fort. Litt lacing. Lett blomsteraroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken karamell, malt & krydder. Tørr bitter avslutning.

330ml bottle at a Greek seaside taverna. Bright warm golden body, fair lacing from a decent white head. Moderate smell of grass, pale malts and a citric scent. Mixed taste of grass, herbal hops, and slightly honeyed sweet malts. Light bittersweet fruity finish. Clean on the swallow. Pretty alright and fine partner to my Greek salad. (Chania, 28.05.2023).

Bottle at The Cellar. Pours a cloudy orange gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is straw and cereal malt. Light body, cereal, grain, straw, light finish, good.

Bière 33 cl bue à Fassalarna en Crète. Robe dorée un peu trouble. Nez sur le malt quasi inodore. Bouche de mauvaise blonde, malt cheap, légère mais quand même avec un goût désagréable. Bof. (M)

A really nice experience this one. Far better than most golden ale you can get out there Hazy deep golden in the glass and a fine thick head that leaves a fine lacing Pleasant intensity in the aroma Balanced sweetness and an ok duration Pleasant carbonation level also. Quite easy to drink Fine malty backbone. Also fruity, herbal, mild bready and faint citric Nice [Bottle from Gry] Brewery #2078

Hopfig-würziger, moderat herber Antrunk mit minimalem Alkoholtouch. Spritzig, zunehmend würzig, angenehm getreidig. Hopfig-würziger Nachhall. Gut. 10/8/10/9/7/9
