Description
In the beginning of 2014 a small adventure begun, a brand new microbrewery called ELIXI was born in the area of Chalkida. A microbrewery focused on the production of craft beer products characterized by the absence of pasteurization and filtration as well as with the use of the traditional way of fermentation inside the bottle.

A family business whose members come from completely different business backgrounds and experiences which can be shown in the diversity of the labels and brands produced.

Since the first moments of its operation has invested in the establishment of a new state of the art brewery in the area of Drosia in Chalkida. The selection of the location was based on the excellent quality of the local water as well as its geographical position near the main motorway of the country.

The premises cover an area of 1000m2 and house cutting edge equipment for the production, bottling and storage of products.

In March 2023, Sofoklis & George Panagiotou, owners of Septem Microbrewery, acquired Elixi, which is the second microbrewery operating in Evia.

Optisch sehr dunkelbraun und ungefiltert trüb - so ergibts sich praktisch ein lichtundurchdringliches schwarz. Die hellbraune, feinporige Schaumkrone hinterlässt einen wässerig-cremigen Eindruck und fällt relativ rasch auf etwa 5 mm zusammen. Die Duftaromatik gestaltet sich sehr kräftig, röstig, mokkaartig, führt aber auch fruchtige Noten von nicht ganz reifen Kirschen und Beeren mit sich. Der Antrunk kommt spritzig, leicht fruchtig-säuerlich und kräftig röstig-herb. Am Gaumen dominieren interessanterweise die fruchtigen, leicht säuerlichen Noten und generieren so eine gewisse Frische und Leichtigkeit. Die röstige Bitterkeit und Noten von schwarzem Kaffee und gerösteten Mandeln sind zwar präsent, halten sich aber etwas zurück. Hopfennoten spielen in diesem Geschehen praktisch keine Rolle. Das Gesamtbild ist ziemlich interessant. Ob ich es als Stout deklarieren würde, weiß ich ehrlich gesagt nicht. Was sagt das Mundgefühl? Spritzig und kräftig moussierend mit mittelkräftigem, kantig-herben Körper, guter Trockenheit und leichter Adstringenz. Im Nachtrunk wirken die fruchtig-säuerlichen Noten gut nach, werden aber bald von einer zartherb schokoladigen bis mokkaartigen Röstmalzaromatik eingeholt. Relativ spät kommt eine leicht trockene Hopfenherbe auf. Mein Fazit: Für mein Empfinden etwas unrund mit einer zu hohen Säure und zu kräftigen Rezenz. Stilistisch eher schwierig einzuordnen.

Ziemiste, alkoholowe, apteczne, jakieś przejrzałe owoce tropikalne. Barwa ciemnozłota, mętne, piękna czapa piany, trwała, ładny lacing. Goryczka dość wysoka, łodygowa, nieprzyjemna. Nic przyjemnego.

330ml bottle bought at Foods n' Goods. Slowly diminishing tan head leaving spotty lacing on the glass, pitch black body. Moderate roasted chocolate malts on the nose. Hints of coffee and chocolate to the taste profile, unpleasant sourish throughout. Sour-malty ending. Not in its best shape. (Hotel room, Chania 02.06.2023).

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow/orange with a huge and firm white head with some yeast sediments carelessly floating around aroma grapefruits zest yeast straw and tiny hints of smoke taste dto slightly spicy and herbal strong and lasting bitterness strong carbonation. A strange beast: It calls itself mindlessly and misleadingly just a Lager but it’s world‘s apart in every aspect from all those bland Pale Lagers one finds throughout Greece. Anyway it’s pretty good.
