Bottle shared with Laura at some local bar in Crete, Greece. Dark brown to black color, average to decent sized tan / mocha head. Aroma is malts, lightly iron, but also a light sourish or tangy touch which shouldn't be there imo. Maybe a little oxidated or a slight infection in the brew. Not sure but it's not good now that's for sure.

Bottle shared with Laura at local pub in Crete, Greece. Clear golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, yeasty like a Belgian saison, lightly tangy. Typical saison flavor. So if they were aiming for a Belgian saison, they've succeeded imo. Not quite my style but still pretty nicely done.

Bottle, 10%. Quite malty aroma, a little farty, hint of pepper. Hazy golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is fruity with a light caramel note. Does not taste very strong to begin with, but has a little alcohol bitterness and pepper in the finish. Not as good as expected after tasting their Classic IPA Psaki.
