Description
Notos is a brewery and taproom located in a commercial part of Heraklion not far from the center. We are the first independent micro-brewery in the city of Heraklion, but also in eastern Crete. The inspirers of the idea are Antonis Tampakakis, George Neroladakis, Costas Verigos (head brewer) and Lambros Petsalakis who started home brewing in 2010. It took another 6 years for the process of creating the brewery to begin. We produce fresh unfiltered beer with natural carbonation.

330ml bottle from Foods n' Goods. Bright warm golden body, covering white head, fair lacing. Malt-fruity aromas, hints of leafy hops. Quite well balanced taste of herbal hops and cereal malts. A nice ending with resinous bitterness. Developing taste profile. Like it. (Hotel room, Chania 01.06.2023).

330ml bottle from Foods n' Goods. Patchy white surface, clingy lacing, bright warm golden body. Quite inviting smell of grass-like hops and pale malts. Honeyed malt-fruity flavours with a subdued hint of spices. Has got a drying close with bittersweet hints. Medium bodied. Nice version of the style. (Hotel room, Chania 29.05.2023).

bottle from two-storey greek supermarket in chersonnisis hazy yellow, smooth offwhite head. aroma is malts, yellow fruits, sort of a bit like belgian blonde, but lacks the yeasty finer details. flavor is messy, malt, slightly fruity, sawdust, caramelly like and fart like brewing error flavor. to be honest, tastes and smells like a homebrew that is average for homebrews. i've had way way better cretan beers than this.bbf 4-12-23 (apr.12.2023) sure it's drinkable, but you can do better than this. The pilsner was way better and is much harder to brew.

Bottle from the large two-story supermarket with a greek name I have no intention of trying to write in english, in herssonnisos. The place had a few international and a few greek craft beers, so far the widest selection i found in this city, which is totally craft-beer-dry compared to chania and rethymno and other larger places on crete i've been. Anyawys, hazy yellow, large offhite head 3. dry sawdusty aroma, like a good homemade pils, 6 flavor is somewhat flowery, balanced by german style pils malty/hoppy bitterness, the slight sweetness and floweryness adds some deptht to the flavor, but i think the bitterness is a bit too sharp and too little aromatic, leading to the beer going too far into bittersweet for my taste. if bittersweet does not bother you, this is a great pils, lots of taste and depth and character, still fairly well balanced. Some of the sweetness is more like belgian blonde than south european lager sweetness. flowers and honey.
