It is another crappy greek lager. It has low flavor, low smell, and a golden appearance.

Cavie (3382) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - FEB 9, 2011
First beer from Greece. And its a pale lager!!! Holla! Clear golden color. Some white head. Aroma is dark fruits and aged wood. Brown sugar notes with heavy malts. Flavor is sweet sugary malts and nice hops. This was much better than I was expecting. I got distracted in the middle of my rate looking at nude pictures of Sally Field. Hot.

Fratto (2328) - Arlington, Texas, USA - FEB 9, 2011
Bottle from Whip-In. Light orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is light grains and not much else. Taste is old, a little sour, and generally unpleasing.

10/13/2007 9:24:00 AM .. . Lacing is quite good but the head is too low for 4 a laaagar .. Honey alcohol smell .. nicely bittered .. some subtle sweet notes .. taste is not half bad .. a decent lager , better than most euro lagers but needs to be fuller to be a premium lager and not a pale lager....on BP but not RB .. which is like a rhino in a surf shop..

Tarpon Springs, Fl - Katina’s Mini market - 11.2 oz bottle. Medium golden pour, little to no head. Aroma of fresh lake water and a hint of pepper. Flavor has a bit of a caramel bent to it, some ripening vegetables and a bit of pepper. Mouthfeel is slightly crisp. Not altogether bad.
