May 2009: Another beer from this brewery to trap Germans, labelling and wording in German. This was obtained in Skiathos and brought back to the UK to review. It was the second pils/lager in a tasting of 5 different brews, it came 3rd in the scoring, so a mid-table pilsner? Half litre can with seven months life left when drank on a sunny afternoon in Shropshire (May 2009). Poured into a Veltins stemmed tulip glass and a vase shaped glass from the Watzdorfer brewery. Mid golden colour, bright and clear, white head on both glasses of beer, looked a typical German Pilsner. Very little aroma, but I always give a 3 for non-smelling pilsners/lagers, just to be fair. This had a some flavour, it tasted like a pilsner should, crisp and clean with hints of hops, barley and yeast. Not much taste, but it did have one. It was refreshing, but it lacked strength and depth. I hot day drink, a holiday beer at best.

Can. Pours a yellow body, with a nice-looking average head. Undefined, metallic aroma, with a grainy-sweet taste. Thin to medium body, nice carbonation level, watery texture. Average

33cl can from supermarket in Platanias, Crete. BBE 06/2012. Clear golden with a thin head. aroma of corn and malt mostly. Flavor is sligtly sweet malt, also some hops, giving it decent bitterness. Drinkable, but the aroma was a bit off.

Can. Pours a clear pale yellow with a big, fluffy white head. Good lacing. Dryish aroma with grassy/hay and cereal notes as well as a weird off-note which I think is linseed oil... Flavour is dryish with sweet cereals and grassy/hay notes. Remote metallic notes and cardboard as it warms. Dry, sweet finish with a touch of hops lingering. Mildly bitter. 21.08.11.

0,5 l can. Pours light straw coloured with a big frothy white head. Aroma of sweet corn. Taste is minimal hopped bitterness, but most of all this is carbonated sweet water.

Canned. Pale golden with fluffy head. Light fruity nose. Vague malt sweetness and light bodied with low bitterness.

Can@Hotel. Grainy aroma. Pale yellow, white irregular head, few lace. Grainy, cheap, light herbal hops, maybe even a hint of flowers, light bitterness.
