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.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Hazy blond color. It has a light cereals aroma, and light cereals flavor too, with light citrusy touch; but some of this is probably due to the age. Poor.

can. Clear pale yellow colour, large white head. Malty and grainy nose. Light-bodied, grainy and malty with some nice hoppy flavours, resiny and with hints of herbs. Inoffensive, ideal to accompany Greek food.

Bottle. Completely pointless color... you know the pale gold. Head is big... maybe three fingers of fizzy white stuff. Aromas of dus, corn and skunky hops. Flavor is a bit of a creamed corn and just a hint of grass.

330 ml bottle BB 060608. Cap had the BEPΓINA, but the bottle had Vergina. Golden color with a filmy white head. Fresh floral/grassy hop aromas. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor seems rather citrus hop over pale malt. A little grassiness is noticeable in the finish. Lemongrass hop? Certainly rather different type of lager. Note from the web: BEPΓINA means Vergina, and that’s a small town in Macedonia. More: The Vergina Sun, Star of Vergina or Argead Star is the name given to a symbol of a stylised star or sun with sixteen rays. It was unearthed in 1977 during archaeological excavations in Vergina, in the northern Greek province of Macedonia, by Professor Manolis Andronikos. He discovered it on a golden larnax in the tombs of the kings of the ancient kingdom of Macedon.
