The first real Cretan beer was a result of Dr Bernd Brink, a German mathematician based in Scotland. He came to Crete and, as a German might, wanted to bring to the island above all a genuine German beer. So the Rethymnian Brewery was set up.

Bottle shared with Laura at hotelroom in Crete, Greece. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, softly bitter, straw / hayish a bit. Nice mouthfeel. I like this one, quite a pleasant lager imo.

Can, as Cretan Kings Mountain Beer. Pours slightly hazy straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and paper, with malty touches. Estery flavour with malty notes and touches with hints of hops. Estery aftertaste. Not much of any flavour apart from yeast. Poor.
