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 from shop on Chios, now drunk 6 months later at home. Aroma is a mix of lovely porter smoked choclately malts and toilet. A pretty decent porter overall though, nice apperance despite huge carbonation when i opened it. Well balanced, nutty flavour.

Het moet niet gekker worden! Bijna 30 graden en een porter drinken op Sifnos. Flesje, donkerbruin, bijna zwarte kleur. Beige schuim. Een frisse zuurtint in de smaak, een uitstekend bier.

Op Chios ooit door de heuvels gewandeld met de mastiekstruiken. Het uiterlijk is nog goed, maar slecht idee om aan bier toe te voegen. Gewoon blijven gebruiken voor kauwgum. Gedronken uit flesje op Sifnos.

330ml bottle. Hazy, orangey dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Herbal, resinous aroma, notes of mastic, hints of pea, savory. Taste is initially herbal, resinous, notes of mastic, a touch of pea, savory, minimally sweet wheaty malty middle part with a fruity banana touch, dry, herbal-grassy finish with a touch of mint. Needs getting used to; nicely evolving taste exhibits successively different aspects of the mastic. A bit overdone - if the mastic was more supportive than dominant this could be a really nice brew.

Bottle at Roussiko restaurant in Thygania or however you spell it, Chios. A highly floral beer with scent of honey in the aroma. Nothing remarkable but a decent brew. Re-rated down the road. Little to no aroma. Feels like an english ale that is missing some bittered roundness. 3.4 to 3
