3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cold bottle, poured into tulip. Yellow with a little head. A spicey earthy bitterness from the saaz, a little malty caramel sweetness, slightly foamy in the mouth with a decent body. It’s not that exciting, but it’s a decently made pale ale.

On tap. Golden body, with a very small head that diminishes very quickly, leaving almost no lace. Very faint aroma, taste is more intense though, medium bitter, hops are greatly notable. Close to heavy carbonated, thin bodied, watery texture. Didn’t enjoy that one, expected a lot more.

Bottle from Wine Vintage Studio, Heraklion. Pours clear golden with a big creamy white head. Aroma of passion fruit and grass. Taste is crisp fresh fruity hops, oranges and some herbal minty notes towards the end. Easy to like this one, outstanding amongst the industrial lagers available in Crete.

Bright clear amber beer, tidy off white head. Crispy palate, turning a little softer. A little creamy malt, minerals. Pleasant mild orangey hops. Finishes creamy with a carbonated nip. Well balanced and pretty drinkable.

Bottle. Clear golden beer with an ok offwhite head. Malty sugary aroma, grassy bitterness, glue notes, some off-flavors. Hoppy floral flavor, sweetish, corn, caramel, glue notes. Somewhat hoppy finish, fruity, bready, sugary notes. No good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden amberish colour with a nice white foamy head. The smells reminds of citrus and same taste but both a hint of mango and general fruity notes. A bit edgy on bitterness. Nice pale ale.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
[330ml bottle, Oddbins Edinburgh] Clear golden beer, small white head after a lot of bubbles on pouring. Eventually formed a strange foam band across one half of the glass. Sweet, slightly bready biscuit nose, some mild spice from the Saaz/NS. Very soft flavour, fruity and with a decent sweet apricot fruitiness at the end. Good pale ale [09092012]
