0,75 l glass bottle with a metal screw cup. Purchased at a supermarket in Rethymno. Listed with 5.0 abv on the label. Clear dark golden in the glass with an one finger white foamy head. Caramel and cereales on the nose. Taste is more on the grainy side, caramel and pale bready. Mid bitterness. Above average carbonation. Not bad.

Draught somewhere in Chania, small stable creamy head, clear and a little intense yellow color, vanila and spice aroma with a bit of wood, sweet malty fruity flavor with a noticable herbal bitterness. Nice, clean and drinkable.
