Another Greek pale lager for the tourists, rated from a bottle at the Old Town restaurant in Agia Galini. Thick and frothy, snow white, creamy head, clear pure golden robe with deeper 'old gold' glow and visible sparkling. Aroma of withering grass, corn water even though it contains no corn (the maltose I guess), wet cereals, light touch of iron, dried out white bread, straw. Sharply numbing carbon dioxide at first with strongly minerally effect - but refreshing on a hot Cretan night; otherwise quite neutral in its onset, evolving into sweetish cerealliness with the sweetness clearly coming from maltose. Light iron aspects here and there, with a grainy core (and not much else) continuing into a mild floral hop bitter note in the end - and though it passes by ever so quickly, a floral aroma does linger a bit retronasally. Sweet, thin, bland and 'empty' like most industrial standard pale lagers, clearly not deserving even of the 'Pilsener' moniker, but on a 'microscopic' level, perhaps just a little less dull than Candia or Fix.

Can. Pours clear light golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and malt, with hints of hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish notes of malt and yeast. Bitter and estery aftertaste. A regular pale lager.

0,33 l can. Clear golden in the glass, more the one finger white head. Lowest grainy smell. Flat musty taste, cardboard, low grain, metallic bitterness. Bought at Rhodes Airport behind the security control. Waste of money.
