Bottle, Sklaventis supermarket, Fira. Just slightly hazy golden, larger white foamy head, lasting. Quite citric nose, soury, vinous and slightly spicy. Gently sweet start, slight bitterness, slightly citric. Light, fresh. Interesting and not bad.

Pretty much clear golden with a white head. Aroma is really quite malty with some citrus behind. Flavour is above light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with moderate carbonation.

Bottle picked up from a small mini market, Loutras, Kythnos, Greece and consumed on Asterion II, Anek Lines RoRo ferry en route from Igoumenitsa, Greece to Venice, Italy Friday 18th September 2020. Cannot tell the colour as drinking from my kleankanteen. Quite sweet from the off, honey, a little spice, but not much else to report, in fact if I didn't look at the bottle I would be unsure of the style. Ok.

Standard pale lager with adjunct flavouring of honey and citron (which is not lemon); another of these Volkan beers from Santorini, I had a 'black' version before but never this original blonde one. At a Greek restaurant in Hulst in the southern Netherlands. Egg-white, mousy, dense and thick but slowly collapsing head on a clear, deep 'old gold' coloured beer with olive-greenish tinge. Aroma a bit lightstruck at first (cat pee), but this fades quickly to make room for impressions of breakfast cereals, chewing gum, drying grass, cold cooked pasta, wet flour, popcorn, dried flowers (the honey I suppose) and a vague, distorted background note of old dried lemon peel (the citron?). Rounded, very slick, cereally body, no real fruitiness, sweetish with prickly carbonation (very minerally and even unpleasantly stinging), thinnish and corn-ish but not blandly grain-sweet, with that grassy, floral and dried-spicy citron and honey touches subtly altering the flavour a bit in the end. Remains a badly disguised bland pale lager in all respects, though, with only the faintest grassy hop bitterish touch in the finish. Granted, the honey and the citron do add very slight accents, but in a very dull, 'dead' kind of way - and all too subtle to really make a difference with the masses of pale lagers flooding the planet. That said, I had much worse pale lagers than this one, too.

Bottle [thnx Amal!] at home. Clear golden color, medium sized white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is quite faint. Don't get much other than a grainy maltiness. Flavor is malts, bitter malts, bitter. Decent body and average to medium carbonation. Quite ok.

This lager poured a hazy, medium yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include honey, dough and a little corn. First swig was quite thin but flavourful. Tastes of corn syrup and club soda. Finish is lightly sweet with cornish flavours lingering.

This dunkel poured a deep, dark amber colour with a creamy tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include sweet caramel, a little coffee and Bovril. First swig was a little thin, with flavours of caramel, a little smoke and black coffee. Finish is a wee bit smokey with caramel flavours lingering.
