Description
The origin of the brewery go back to 1968 when Henninger Hellas company, the local Greek distributor of the German Henninger beer, was founded. In 1994 it was renamed as Northern Greece Brewery. In 1997 Mythos Beer was introduced, and in 2001 the company renamed itself as the Mythos Brewery S.A. Since 2008 it has been a subsidiary of Carlsberg Group. In 2014 a restructured Olympic Brewery was established after the merger of Mythos and Olympic.

Olympic Brewery is a strong and reliable company in the domestic beer market. Combining Greek DNA and the global imprint of the Carlsberg Group dynamics, it is a key player that not only envisions, but can also change the beer map of Greece. In 2018 Carlsberg acquired the remaining 49% in Olympic Brewery. When Mythos Brewery and Olympic merged in 2014, Carlsberg already had already gained a controlling 51 % share in the company.

Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a yellow-golden color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, tangy and a bit corny. The flavor was sweet, tangy and corny with a trace of floral hops. The finish was long and corny. Acceptable at best.

bottle - Pours near clear yellow with a one finger white head. It smells of grainy malt and cheap hops. It tastes like a standard, cheap euro lager, it even comes in a green bottle, with sweet grainy malt and light hops. Light bodied. Bland. Meh.

can, 0.33l. I had this beer quite often during holidays in Greece, but haven’t tasted it for donkeys years. So I am glad to come across one now. Clear yellow colour, large and creamy white head. Malty nose. Solid malt flavours with nice grassy hop accents. Very tasty.

Green bottle: Completely skunked aroma. Clear yellow, no head. Sour lemon and corn flavor. Cardboardy. The sourness was ok, but otherwise I see no point in drinking it.
