It was the first and remains the favorite truly Greek lager! An authentic premium lager beer brewed in accordance to the strictest specifications stipulated by the German beer purity law (reinheitsgebot). It has a characteristically light, smooth and full flavor.

Bottle at an otherwise rather fine Greek restaurant in Skenes Creek. Orangish gold with a white head. Stale mealy aroma with some grass. Didn’t really want to taste it. Watery, average carbonation. Sweet taste with muddy grains, cabbage and sugar. A little grassy bitterness at the end helps a bit. Probably not at its best, but really offensive on the day.

Draught @Platanias, Crete. (can´t remember the name of the bar now). Poured hazy straw color with a lasting thick white unclean head. Cereal, corn, sweet aroma. Flavor had more cereal, malty, low bitterness. Drinkable, but not very much flavorvise.

Canned, thanks Nightfall! Clear pale golden, creamy head. Grassy nose. Dry, yet creamy with grassy hops covering light grainy malt. Fairly light bodied with some late bitterness. A refreshing pale lager.
