burg326 (2326) - Florida, USA - APR 22, 2013
Bottle at the hungry Greek next to my place, drank from bottle, aromas of rice, and dust. Flavors are the same, light overall, not the best beer out there, but wouldn’t order again.

jredmond (4006) - Manhattan, New York, USA - MAR 13, 2013
Bottle with Maggi and Geoff at the Greek restaurant in ybor the night before Hunahpu 2013. Pours a clear, light golden body with fizzy carbonated bubbles and short, frothy white head. Aroma is sweet grain, light fruity malts, very faint skunk and rice. Mouthfeel is light, carbonated and somewhat crisp. Similar characteristics in the flavor, very plain but not offensive in any way. A drinkable pale lager if no other options are available.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear pale gold with small white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a sweet corn malt and honey. Thin mouthfeel with a skunky corn malt and metallic finish. Not much going on with this one.

Bottle. Another beer that tastes like Heineken. Clear pale color with a head that vanishes. Not worth drinking again ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

DSG (3927) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 31, 2012
Can. Clear yellowish golden color with a medium white head. Grainy aroma with DMS notes and weird sweet overripe fruitiness. Sweet (too sweet) grainy flavor with some corn, vegetables notes, light sugary hints and a slightly drier finish with faint bitterness and light metallic hints. Light-bodied. Pretty shitty.

What can you say about this lager that hasn’t been said about other light lagers? Light gold, light bodied, rates a bit of cardboard and grass. Little bit of citrus.
