Description
It all began in 2011 with a love match: Michalis Lafkis, studying wine making, visited Belgium to find out about beers, and there met Aurelie Petillion! Five years later they ended up living together in Crete and making their own Belgian-Greek beer – a fusion of Belgian know-how with products from the wonderful Greek climate. Their first beer was launched in 2017, found only in Crete.

Bière 33 cl bue au Tzizikas à Armeni, en Crète. Robe orangée très trouble, plutôt jolie. Arome floral, houblon. Bouche amère sur l'écorce d'agrumes, plutot bonne bien qu'elle manque un peu de longueur en bouche (M)

Bottle, Mr Cellar (Agia Marina). Slightly hazy golden, medium white head. Medium spicy nose, coriander and a bit of oranges later on. Medium bitterness, quite some spices. Slightly fruity in the finish. Lasting aftertaste and lighter body. Fresh.

27 September 2019. Bottle from B is for Beer, Chania, Crete. Hotel room tasting. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy black with a very thin, frothy, tan head. Aroma of toast, fondant, coffee roast, roasted nuts, earth. Taste is medium roasted bitter, lots of coffee, fondant, a bit powdery, on top of 'brown' bready & toasty maltiness; somewhat sourish & metallic but not disturbing. Dry, earthy hoppy finish, lingering toast & coffee. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Does what can be expected.
