Bottle at the Alcanea hotel, Crete. Hazy deep amber coloured beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and dry with modest fine carbonation. Semi sweet malts, touch of caramel. Sourish dried fruits, the same as the blonde. Dry finish. Meh!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark orange colour with a small, off-white head. The aroma is very malty with rye bread, wood and some dark berries in the back. The flavour is dominated by sweet malt and wort, and ends dry. Strange taste. Slick and rich mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. A bit light and weird beer, and is overwhelmingly malty.

Light amber colour with some haze. The aroma is lightly toasty. Toasty palate with light caramel and hints of toast. That’s just a lot of toast, far too much.

Bottle. A hazy, golden beer topped by a dense, nice-looking, off-white head leaving lacings. Well, that’s about all the good about this one, the aroma is candy-ish and with a definite sign of infection. The flavor confirms that impression, it has a distinct sourness, as well as a malty sweetness. Thin on the palate, pleasant carbonation. Sourish finish. I’d rather have a bad looking beer tasting good, than this one that looks nice but tastes below mediocre. 100917
