3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle 7/12/11 at Jake & Tellys). Clear gold color. Medium off white head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor of the same, with light grain. Avg duration. Light lasting grainy finish. Thin texture. Soft to moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
12oz bottle at a greek place. Light in color and aroma. Not much in the flavor department either. Some light citrus but mostly malt and adjuct flavor. Another attempt to make Americans happy.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
perhaps passable in a scorching Mediterranian heat, Hillas falls short in the US, coming across as a typical adjunt-ridden Pils imitation. Corny with no hops character, this br
ew misses the mark completely.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
12oz bottle pours clear golden with large white head. Aroma of malt and grass. Taste starts out rather nicely with malts, grains and caramel but on an offensive mineral bitterness. Pretty good with Avgolemono Chicken Soup.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Light golden beer with an off-white head. Mineral and light grass aroma. Sweet malt flavor with light caramel and light citrus. Medium bodied. Sweet malt and light caramel lingers.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Pours a light golden with a medium white head. Aroma and flavor are quite sweet, a murky maltiness, some fruity esters, some corn and graininess, almost no hops. Reminded me of too many bad Ukrainian and Russian beers I’ve had. Gets particularly unpleasant as it warms. Not truly awful ... but not good.
1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
330 mL bottle. Light pale yellow appearance with a frothy white head. Sweet pale malts in the nose. Fairly sweet and fairly bitter bland pale lager. Not that great. Actually pretty gross
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Pours lightly hazy and particulate gold with a small, fizzy white head, low retention with flat head. Aroma is heavy malt (straw, meal), light hops (earthy), light esters (fruity) with notes of peaches. Flavor is heavy malt (straw, meal, bread), light hops (earthy), light esters (fruity) with notes of peaches. Light body, low creaminess and warmth, medium carbonation and a dry finish.
