3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
25th November 2006
Warning! Early amateur rating! Supposedly a strong ale? Very smooth, slightly creamy and sweet. Very very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
re-rate, new version: clear golden colour, few head, strong herbal aroma, sweet, full with a long dry hoppy finish - fresh and robust - this is definitely not the same beer, the old version was a malt liquor, this one is close to a pils
sweet, alcohol too present
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at Académie De La Bière. Golden color with a fine white head. Aromas of light malt and citrus.Flavors are light and clean. Citrus seems present. It is very refreshing. Finishes nicely dry and very mildy bitter.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
More sweet malts than hops. Refreshing and easy to drink but not as complex as many alternatives.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden beer, pours slightly flat. The aroma is lightly hopped but with little else. The beer has a crisp fresh lager flavour which makes it very refreshing when served cold. A very drinkable beer for a hot arid climate as the name suggests.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle in Athens. Gold with bright head. Corny and hoppy nose. Taste is sweet and malty. Hoppy texture. Quite nice.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml bottle. Pours clear golden with a large white head that diminishes rapidly leaving a thin film and some lacing. Aroma is malty and fruity, apricot, lemon grass, yeast and corn. Flavor is sweet with hints of citrus, hops and a bready yeastiness that lingers in the back of the throat. Medium body and gentle carbonation. I may be against the grain on this one, but I liked it quite a bit for a pale lager - especially as it warmed the flavors and aromas became much more pronounced and enjoyable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Metallic golden beer with lively carbonation to medium, dense yellowish head. Dry, slightly caramelized malts and alcohol. Generally rather sweet nose. Dry cookies, biscuit (not oxydized), hints at sweet corn. Drier finish with mainly alcohol and a point of roasted bitterness. Fizzy MF, light alcoholwarming and cardboard aftertaste. Starts reasonable enough, but peters out to a (moderately) strong lager look-alike (if it is a strong lager, then why is it called "Strong Ale"?)
