I reviewed this beer while on the holiday island of Skiathos in May 2009. The labelling on the can claimed ’Original Braurei Abfullung’, on closer inspection I discovered the ’Original Braurei’ to be an industrial estate somewhere in Greece, not in Bavaria as I was conned into thinking. Anyway, the beer from the 0.33 litre can was poured into a tumbler and drank on my balcony with a view to die for! Pity the beer didn’t live up to the view. Very pale golden body, plenty of carbonisation and a huge white head. Sadly the head fell away almost as soon as it appeared. The beer was clear, but didn’t have than sparkling brightness I have come to expect of the Helles style. The aroma wasn’t there, gets my standard 3 for lager/pils non-smell. The beer was both tasteless and dry, a bland, poor excuse for a lager/helles/pils. Metallic aftertaste. Even though I was at one with the world and everything was fine I couldn’t find it within myself to rate this beer any higher. It’s labelling is a con-trick and the quality was poor throughout.
