Pour is a clear yellow with a very small white head. Aroma is a horrible burnt skunk. Looking at the beer again there is no carbination what so ever. Taste is flat as well. The best i can describe it is a sweet malt syurp. Why do i keep getting Greek beers?

Meh. Nothing particularly good about it. It’s got the feel of a cheap beer. Bud light-ish. Goes down easily, but doesn’t have a lot of substance.

Tasted from 330mL green bottle into chilled shaker glass at Olympia Greek restaurant. Interesting Greek-themed graphic design added to the whole theme. Poured a predictable golden color with sudsy white foam, short-lived with no lace. Typical pale lager aromas and flavors. Mild malt, skunky hops, some mushy sweet corn flavor, light body, high carbonation, crisp and dry finish. Not very good, not very bad. Went fine with dinner, but surely benefited from the frigid temperature numbing my taste buds.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2012 Got from a Greek restaurant. Bottle. Reminded me of skunky college beer. Nothing really of note.

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.
