One of four beers on tap from this brewery offered at a habour side bar in Chania, Crete during September 2008. Poured into a vase shapped brewery logo’ed glass. It was a glowing reddy brown colour in the afternoon sunlight, clear and clean looking. A smallish cream head sat on top. The beer was cold (the weather hot), so it was difficult to pick up any huge aromas. I did detect some caramel and possibly some hops too. The caramel I’d found in the aroma came through into the taste, but it wasn’t a sweet tasting beer by any means. Crisp and refreshing with a medium body feel to it. Although it was just what I needed at the time, it wasn’t/isn’t a great beer that I must have again. In fact I didn’t have another one while staying on Crete, so that tells it’s own story.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is crisp hoppy and light toasted malty. Surprising hoppy, crisp grassy, bitter, dry and smooth fruity. Delicate bitter and grassy finish.

500 ml shared bottle, as Craft Weiss Beer, thanks to our beerpal Jan Magnus who brought it from Greece. ABV is 5.0%. Cloudy orange colour, moderate white head. Aroma with notes of malt and wort, overshadows the typical h.w. notes of cloves and banana. Also notes of over-ripe berries. Wheaty flavour, refreshing, with a more pronounced hoppy bitterness than in many other hefeweizens.

Keg at Craft Brewery, Athens. It pours amber, with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is smoke, bonfire, burnt firewood, bbq and bacon. The taste is brown bread, yeast toasted malt, light metal, only a light smokiness, wood, earth and manure. Light to medium body and fairly high carbonation. Smells great, but taste doesn’t quite live up to it.

Keg at Craft Brewery, Athens. It pours darkest brown, with a thick light tan head. The nose is caramel, toffee, latte and light roasted malt. The taste is chocolate, caramel, lactose, filter coffee, light roasted malt and a touch of liquorice. Medium body, fine carbonation, foamy mouth-feel and good balance. Tasty and very easy drinking.
