COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Alfa Hellenic Beer is a lager beer, with 5% alcohol content with it’s authentic Greek name and origin, that make it more familiar to Greeks and non-Greeks around the world. It is refreshing, easy to drink and brings to ones memory the authentic taste of Greece! Alfa’s unique light gold color and rich foam is the ultimate pleasure-maker. It is made of high quality natural ingredients (water, barley malt, hops and yeast) and its packaging is distinctive, with the bottle being a more modern version of the original Alfa bottle.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2011 Draught, in Athens. Straw colour. Inch-thick head. Fresh hop extract aroma - decent pale lager nose. Crisp, medium bitterness. Limited pale malt background. No other hop character on the palate. Clean, off-dry finish. It’s fine for the style, I guess.
