500ml bottle served comfortably chilled in a tall Craft glass at Fat Snail Café in Rethymno. Clear amber coloured body with a slowly fading, off-white head. Dotted spots on the glassware. Plain and mild smoked malts to the nose. Smooth taste of caramel malts on a subdued backbone of bacon. Semi-sweet to the ending. Pretty straightforward, but quite nice (Rethymno, Crete 12.08.2012).

Flaske 0,5l. Gave fra Rune. Drukket hjemme 20 Aug 12. Lys gylden. Bra skum som stabiliserer seg lavt. Søt fruktig aroma. Smaken er malt med innslag av frukt. Litt i søteste laget - men bra.

Flaske 0,33l. Gave fra Rune. Drukket hjemme 20 Aug 12. Gyldenbrun med et bra skum som varer og fester seg til glasset. God røykaroma. Lite kullsyre. Smaken er bare røyk med litt syrlighet i ettersmaken. Kjedelig.

September 2008: A Greek Hefeweizen, it had to be tried. Found in a bar while on the lovely Isle of Crete. Poured into the breweries glassware it looked the part. A huge head sat on top of a moody looking cloudy, creamy orange body of beer. The aromas were citrus fruits, mostly lemon and grapefruits, I also found cloves in the mix. I like to pick up vanilla and banana esters in a Hefeweizen, but that’s just me! There were none in this beer (I had two, just to make sure). The taste followed the aromas almost to the letter although I thought some vanilla did come into the flavours I picked up. The depth of body just let this beer down a little. Refreshing it was, but I wanted more crispness and sharpness to it. A fine attempt at a Hefeweizen, but just failing to ’float my boat’ enough for me to endorse it fully.

September 2008: This brewery doesn’t mess around with fancy names. The four fonts on offer at the only bar I’ve seen this beer at were: Lager, Black Lager, Red Ale and Weiss Bier. Poured into the breweries own glassware, this beer was jet black with a good tan head on top. It looked impressive sat next to the nuts and warming in the early evening sun by the harbour in Chania, Crete. The aroma was all about roasted and burnt malts, as was the taste. Sadly it was just like drinking a watered down, fizzy Porter or Stout. There was no creaminess or rich body to it at all. It was a lager, but black and with a smell (unlike most lagers). The beer just didn’t feel right, it looked so wholesome and inviting, but failed to live up to its looks. It was too fizzy and lacked body.

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.
