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.

Light amber colour with some haze. The aroma is lightly toasty. Toasty palate with light caramel and hints of toast. That’s just a lot of toast, far too much.

Bottle. A hazy, golden beer topped by a dense, nice-looking, off-white head leaving lacings. Well, that’s about all the good about this one, the aroma is candy-ish and with a definite sign of infection. The flavor confirms that impression, it has a distinct sourness, as well as a malty sweetness. Thin on the palate, pleasant carbonation. Sourish finish. I’d rather have a bad looking beer tasting good, than this one that looks nice but tastes below mediocre. 100917
