Yellowish, bit fluffy head over lively carbonated yellow-golden beer. Fruity nose, hops, but also cooked celeri... Bit floral, bit spicy, even coriander; citrus; Spicy, faint sweetish, vegetable. Rootspices & herbs. Finish has reasonable (hop)bitterness; scorza nero. Well-carbonated, slick, well-bodied. Not half bad.

Small yellow head with a firm, stable look over totally muddy mossy-ochre beer. Rather oppressive asafoetida aroma, bit floral, citrus and other exotic fruit, lunaria, passion fruit, nectarine. Bitter, floral, young greeen leaves. Lots of citrus, grapefruit, hint of pineapple and passion fruit. MF as if fruit-filled, spritzy carbonation (if invisible). One that grew on me, in the end it's a pretty pleasing IPA. Greece is definitely on the craftbeerwagon.

Yellowish dense head over fully muddy ochre-golden beer. Bit cheesy nose, light-green leaves, lunaria, grapefruit. Bit of (lemon)cake. Very hopdominated mouth, lupulin; again a bit cheesy, citruspeel, citrus etheric oils. Rather spritzy feel, bit burning even, carbonation + hopoil overdose. Medium bodied. Good, classical. Galaxy and Simcoe on Chios. The Olympos is shaking.
