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.

Lys gul uklar farge. Tynt hvitt skum. Lukter korn og sitrus. En ganske flat øl og har en merkelig smak/ettersmak. Denne anbefaler jeg ikke å kjøpe!

Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy yellow colour with a very small off-white head. Aroma of straw, sweet corn, cooked vegetables and some citrus. Too much DMS in my opinion. It continues in the flavour and tastes a bit grainy. A touch of hops in the end. Has a pretty flat and watery mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A boring and a bit strange lager. Feels like a bad homebrew.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark orange colour with a small, off-white head. The aroma is very malty with rye bread, wood and some dark berries in the back. The flavour is dominated by sweet malt and wort, and ends dry. Strange taste. Slick and rich mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. A bit light and weird beer, and is overwhelmingly malty.
