On tap at restaurant, Chania, Greece. Has a pale and golden straw colour with a small, off-white head. Faint aroma with a touch of pale malt and straw. The flavour is also disappointly faint and similar with the aroma. Thin and watery mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. An incredibly thin beer devoid of taste and aroma.
