Style: Pale Lager
Sindos, Greece

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

bottle - Pours near clear yellow with a one finger white head. It smells of grainy malt and cheap hops. It tastes like a standard, cheap euro lager, it even comes in a green bottle, with sweet grainy malt and light hops. Light bodied. Bland. Meh.

fuckin yikes! .. bottle from WhipIn in Austin .. . green bottle .. . smell is faded grassy skunk .. pours a hazy orange gold .. skunky as a skunk butt .. . damn, i am drinking 2 beers tonight. this and a bud light platinum- now i’m thankful i have a platinum as a dessert.. . . Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If that cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about.

Aroma is bread and grains with a hint of grittiness. The flavor is similar to the aroma. Definitely a macro pale lager in that it isn’t really unique, although it was decent in flavor, probably due to it being decently made.

Bottle - unable to pour out of bottle to see color, typical light lager flavor; the Mythos I had right before was a little better

Bottle- Pours a clear golden color with a billowy head that fades quickly to some lacing. Aroma of malt sweetness, grain and a bit musty. Sweet taste of malt and some grain with a mild bitterness and a slightly sweet finish. Light body, mild crispness, fairly smooth with a bit of a grainy texture. A run of the mill Euro Lager, unoffensive and goes best with food.

A pale yellow pour with a very thin, white head. The aroma is nearly all skunk. It has a light body with watery texture and lively carbonation to go with the bland taste. This is just another crappy, European pale lager.

Bottle. Pour is light yellow with a white head. Aroma is bland malt and yeast. Faint floral hop. Flavor is quite watered down with hints of malt and yeast. Terrible. At least the bottle/ label was OK.

Typical run of the mill pale lager. Even in it’s stupid green bottle it managed to get here relatively intact. Aroma was sulfur and dirty fee (think eating a few hard boiled eggs and releasing a hot fart). Sorry that’s the aroma I’m getting. Pour was a nice clear gold with plenty of rising bubbles and a one finger white head. Taste is pale lager. Not too sweet and not much flavor but in the pale lager world that’s a good thing. Nice spritzy carbonation.

Beer three of World beer Sunday imported from Greece. Pours a deep golden color with a decent white head that displays minimal retention and lace. Smells of bready malts with a hint of melanoid, smells quite German actually. This initially opened with intense aroma of skunk, but over the couple of minutes as I pulled up the listing those aromas are all but gone. Taste is caramel and burnt sugars, bready malt and little to no hop flavor. Medium body and level of carbonation with a sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. This one wasn’t half bad, or maybe it was just that much better than the last one. Sweet and malty almost to a fault and I could have used a few more hops.
