Can from Carrefour, Larnaka, Cyprus 🇨🇾. Smooth neutral grainy beginning. Not too deep, grainy with not much bitterness. Plain metallic in the aftertaste, not too sweetish, sessionable!

On tap in Cyprus 🇨🇾 Awful stuff! The nose is like a toilet someone used for vomitting. The beer starts like old cardboard with metal. Hints of metallic grain, not much bitterness. Awful aftertaste... don’t know what happened to this beer - or does it have to taste like this?

33cl bottle on 30th Jan 2016: the first beer on one of my random International tasting sessions with myself. Poured into a stemmed tulip glass at home and shared with no one. Bright, clean and clear golden body with a full white crown on top. Corn/grain in the nose, taste is more bitter and hoppy than the aroma suggests. Refreshing and surprisingly good, crisp and sharp feel to the brew: ideal on a sunny beach I bet.

Can from Papas hypermarket, Limassol, Cyprus. Pours a yellow gold colour with a short lasting big white head. Aroma is grainy, hay, touch of citrus. Medium sweet, light bitterness. Average carbonation, thin texture. Finish has some bitterness. Beats KEO, just.

500ml can. Straight out the can, so not sure what it looks like. Sweet yeasty aroma. Sweet and grainy taste.

Pours a typical golden color, topped with average frothy white head. Very mild aroma, some malty notes and some grains. Not much there, really. A light malty taste, slight sweetness in beginning and mild bitterness in the finish. Drinkable when ice cold. nothing special.

Bottle brought back from Cyprus by a colleague. Clear yellow colour lager with an average sized white head. Aroma of grain, grass and hops. Drinkable on a warm day. 9/2/2014 Updated. Had a few glasses of this on draught during my recent visit to Paphos, Cyprus. Became my mainstay choice over KEO when nothing else available from smaller Cypriot brewers. Rather more golden. Aroma also with a touch of malt. Has a light appealing bitterness. Easy drinking, not too carbonation - quite a decent pale lager. 28/7/2015
