Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #43 (Aug 2010):

This is an all-malt, green-bottled Euro lager from Greece, so it's a rarity of sorts. It is an exceptionally clear, pale yellow with a solid white lacing. This lager brings a hint of cooked corn and hops with a side of grassiness in the nose. It gives a smooth and refreshing mouthfeel. This beer has a hint of sweetness, but a dry malt palate throughout. Dried grass comes to mind, with a bit of bread as well. The hops show more bitterness than flavor, and some cooked veggie flavors show up in the dry finish. This lager has a bit more life compared to the typical fizzy yellow lager. This one is worth a go.

look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Presentation: 0.33L green bottle. Cryptic best before end date on the back label.

Appearance: Golden/yellow beer, touch of haze, and a patchy tiny bubbled, sticky white lace.

Smell: Bready, extremely floral/herbal (skunk) from the Saaz hops.

Taste: Fairly smooth on the palate, going a bit coarse and grainy as you get into the beer. Body is borderline medium. Sweetness is low, but even. Hops have that distinct "skunky" flavour that overwhelms, with a thin flash of a semi-citrusy-lemony hop bite. Quite herbal, which runs into the bready/dry finish.

Notes: Wasn't really impressed by this beer, pretty average. Although the "skunked" aroma and flavour is part of the character, it's a bit too much a part of it.

Pored into a 16 oz. goblet. Pours a bright golden color with a small, foamy head. Smells of grassy malts, bread. Taste is sweet Munich-type malts with mild, herbal hops. Clean, crisp carbonation with a light body. Nothing special, but very drinkable. A good summer-time lager.

A: The beer is clear light yellow in color and has a slight amount if visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head consisting of large bubbles that quickly died down, leaving a thin film of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge.
S: Light to moderate amounts of sweet bready malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of artificial sweetness and notes of underlying bready malts.
M: It feels light-bodied and somewhat watery on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink but the artificial type of sweetness in the taste is a little strange.

A: Pours a crystal clear pale to medium yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of visible carbonation and some light hints of lemon yellow. The beer has a finger tall creamy white head that slowly reduces to a thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Light to moderate aromas of artificially sweet malts and just a touch of earthy hops.

T: Upfront there is a moderate flavor of sweet bready malts with some light hints of grain and corn. There are some very light amounts of earthy hops that fade extremely quickly but impart a light amount of bitterness (which fades quickly).

M: Just slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp.

O: This beer is not offensive but definitely not great - there is a somewhat artificial sweetener flavor in there that seems to contribute the overall hints of sweetness to the beer. Light flavor and low alcohol makes this one pretty easy to drink but this one is a little too boring for me.
