Blond color. Simple aroma and flavor: malt and hay; honey; a light sweetness in the middle, mixing with a flowery note.

Pale straw color with fast fading white head. Very mild, very clean. Certainly nothing special

Bottled. Pale golden. Neutral aroma. Medium bodied and rather sweet with some late bitterness. Clean and drinkable middle-of-the-road lager.

Not really great, but about what I'd expect from a plain lager from overseas. Tastes like any other plain lager from overseas. Had a little fruity flavor to it but that was all I could find to comment on.

Pale golden in colour. Rather sweet, pretty bland, hint of bitterness. Very forgettable. For good Greek beer go to the Craft brewpub in Athens.

Yes I had this while on holiday in Greece... and found it quite acceptable. Probably the best(??) Greek beer. However, I don’t feel any need to have it imported to Norway.....
Rerate: It is now actually imported to Norway, in a watered-down 4.7% ABV version, in order to be sold in our grocery stores. 330 ml green bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Crystal clear pale golden colour, decent head. Fresh and grassy moderate aroma. The flavour is fairly "clean" with a moderate malty sweetness and fairly decent hops in the finish. OK on a hot summer’s day.

Most Greek pilsners are quite similar, but this would be at the high end of the scale quality-wise.
