At last, this was the only one from Athenian Breweries that I hadn’t tried. As I expected it is almost identical to most of their other beer (f.ex Alfa,Marathon) only a bit watery and lighter. Boring

(33 cl bottle at Lilla Tavernan, Göteborg)On October 28, 2008BB 05/09Clear golden color, medium white head. Sweet, malty, grainy scent, though no DMS or other faults that I suspected (biased). Sweet, a bit sugary, malty taste. Rather refreshing. Medium to smooth mouthfeel. Medium to medium low bitterness, a bit herbal. Quite short malty aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a pale lager yellow, with a moderate white head that disappears almost instantly. A little dry, with a malty, very faint hop flavor. Went pretty well with the Greek food I was eating.

Milder Antrunk, etwas hopfig-herb. Trotz der Milde ist das Bier nur in Teilen wässrig und schlägt sich so recht wacker. Im Mittelteil etwas malzig, vorherschend herb. Angenehme Intensität, im Abgang sogar etwas kräftiger, besonders die Herbe legt zu und wirkt relativ frisch. Etwas grasig, leicht bitter werdend. Deutlich besser als gedacht! Test vom 12.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,8,8,9,6,8 - 8,35

Strong hoppy aroma. Quite a bitter taste but certainly full flavoured for a lager. It is neither bland nor watery.

Bottled at Elias Taverna, Stockholm. Clear bright golden, firm medium sized head. Fruity nose with some vague hay-like hops. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Distinctly salty and rather firm. Finishes with low-medium bitterness. A featureless but solid standard lager.

(50 cl bottle at a restaurant in Köping, Sweden) Clear golden color, big white bubbly failry lasting head. Scent is sweet, malt, metallic, but mostly canned vegetables. Taste is pretty much just sweetened canned vegetables, it leaves a sweet a bit disgusting aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel, very low bitterness.

bottle Pours clear yellow and has a grainy malt aroma. Flavor is pale cereal malt and just a little hops. It’s light and bland. Overall I give it a "meh".
