750ml Bottle in 🇬🇷 from a shop next to a petrol station in Παραλία Κουρνά. Grainy smooth beginning. Easy to drink, crisp, not much bitterness with a round and grainy finish. Malty hints, refreshing nice. But strange bottle…

0,75 l glass bottle with a metal screw cup. Purchased at a supermarket in Rethymno. Listed with 5.0 abv on the label. Clear dark golden in the glass with an one finger white foamy head. Caramel and cereales on the nose. Taste is more on the grainy side, caramel and pale bready. Mid bitterness. Above average carbonation. Not bad.
