Description
Manos Nazlidis, originally from Piraeus, created the Chios Beer microbrewery in Kampos, on the island of Chios, in 2010. In 2012, he began producing and bottling Fresh Chios Beer, an innovative newcomer on the market. It is always bottled unfiltered and unpasteurised to retain all the flavour and character of a true beer.

Bottle thanks to rouhlas! Pours clear black, small tan head, dissipates to a ring with decent lacing. Aroma is quite roasty with a lot of coffee notes, some burned notes as well. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, burned coffee, deep deep roasted malts, some smokiness, almost meaty in character. Medium body, fairly high carbonation. Burned aftertaste.

Bottle @home (B.B 16/6/2015, but opened today). Pours clear yellow to light amber, rich diminishing off-white head, decent lacing, medium body, soft creamy mouth feel.Prevailing malty character mostly bread notes, hops give hints of herbs and, from time to time, floral or fruits like orange and sweet tangerine detected on a second level. Sweet character with soft finish bringing orange/citrus peel notes on the tongue. Soft carbonation. Very pleasant feeling, well pared with fresh Greek cuttings and home made pork sausage. A successful and valuable add to the newborn Greek craft beer scene.
