bottle from atlas, platanias. hazy yellow, bubbly white head. Very nice bretty aroma, fresh grass, herbs. flavor is quite milky, dough, malts, faint brett, some lemongrass. Does taste like a good germen wheat was mixed with a good belgian wit. so not as crazy as most wit, and not as wheat and banana like as most hefeweizen. okay beer, but not out of the ordinary.

the last bottle in the fridge 750 ml 11 euros, from atlas supermarket near platanias, crete. vintage 2018. hazy yellow, small white head. refreshing aroma of honey, saison yeast, faint yellow fruits. very nice aroma, a bit faint, but super nice, dry and clean. flavor is citrussy, honey, faint belgian yeast, faint yellow fruits. A very light saison, almost more like a belgian strong ale, tastes like a blonde or a not so flavorful tripel. The beer is very easy drinking, alcohol is hidden really well, and the honey balances the citrussy notes and herbal notes of the saison yeast really well.

bottle from supermarket a.. something i keep forgetting, near platanias, crete. hazy to unlear yellow, small white head. interesting aroma, water lemon, milk, yeast, dough, pine.. quite nice aroma. flavor is very fruity and a good dose of dough, oats makes it super easy drinking an overall the hops (which are somewhat crazy) manage to balance the malts and oats. so this one o goes down like chocolate milk, and you have no idea what hit you... nice beer.. and interesting, not so conventional, from kykao.. Very crisp aftertaste that is not too bitter, not too sweet ups the overall for me. pleasant dring all the way.

bottle from atlasworld, crete. unclear to hazy yellow, small white head. aroma is fresh flowery hoppy, sweet malty, some serious bitterness also, i don't get rye directly but it reminds me of a rye ipa i really liked, and really miss. flavor is very dry, faint flowery, a little watery, some spunky flavors probably from the yeast.. only now i read it's only 2 pct. that might explain watery and yeasty notes. in any case, this is a well decent low alc. beer, but don't expect crazy amounts of flavors from the rye, cause it's not really there. great dry and refreshing session ipa nonetheless.

Bottle from atlasworld, not far from platanias. clear yellow, white head. aroma is us hoppy not that intense, but you're not in doubt us style hops have been used. so mild flowers, pine, grapefruit etc. flavor is dry, mild but still very nicely dry hoppy flavor, juicy, faint dry malty balance a great session ipa, nearly full body flavor, but low abv nevertheless. also quite clean. i do find a little bit of candy or exotic fruits in the aftertaste, which is not that bitter.
