Description
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.

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.

Bottle, 4.8%. Yeasty and fruity aroma, Vinous with overripe fruit notes. Good stable plasticky white head. The flavour has a medium malt base with notes of recently baked white bread. Dries out in the finish, but not too much. (Not a pale lager in my book, more of a Zwickel or something).

Som Cretan Kings Mountain Beer. Gave fra Rune. Drukket på Lillehøgda. Stråfarget. Lavt skum som raskt blir helt borte. Nesten klar. Lett maltaroma. Smaken smørmalt. Tørr, forsiktig bitter avslutning. Anonym.

Bottled (thanks OH6MIL!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, herbs, grass and some earth. Flavour is grains, earth, herbs, some wood and mild dusty notes. Rather cardboardy finish.
