LordCorkscrew (1774) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - OCT 14, 2007
Discutibilissima lager un po’ luppolata dell’universo birrario greco; comprata al supermercato sull’Istmo di Corinto e bevuta in albergo insieme a due allegri sodali: noiosissima.

sayravai (4654) - Helsinki, FINLAND - OCT 9, 2007
(Canned, thanks Tomppa!) Clear, pale golden with a smallish, quite tight, partly lasting head with some lace. Slightly sour-acidic and vegetably aroma with a caramely-toffeeish feel (actually not as bad as it sounds). Toffee-malty, mildly acidic flavor with a mildly bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. Not that bad, as it has even some flavors and aromas (not all of which are that pleasant, though).

Bov (8158) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - JUL 17, 2007
sampled in Kos - very clear golden colour with a little chaotic but persistent head; nice lace; a light but pleasant aromatic hoppiness caresses the nose; slightly grapefruity; medium-bodied (at best), quite sweet and with a subtle carbonation; finishes moderately malty with more hoppy touches - clean and easy but quite good considering greek standards

mabel (5043) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 28, 2007
[316-20070514] Tap @ Geros tou Moria (Athens). Light plastic, light wet dog, bittersweet aroma with hints of apple. Clear, light yellow body with lots of side bubbles and a quick bubbly white head. Funny initial plastic flavour goes away, yeasty, sweet aftertaste, hints of appley fruit. Light body. Quite pleasant on a rooftop patio underneath the Acropolis, but I wouldn’t take it home with me.
