Bottle. Pickin’s are slim at my current location, but this isn’t too bad. Golden-orange, quite active. Drinks with a definite sweetgrass component, but finishes with almost vanilla-like smoothness. Decent malty brew. (#3454, 5/15/2008)

33cl bottle from Systembolaget. It poured a pale yellow colour with a medium head that settled down fast. It has a bitter aroma that smells of malts. It has a dry flavor thas tastes of malts and grain.

This beer is huge in Greece, It was everywhere. Had it a few times on draft in Rythmno, Crete. Kind of a soft, delicate aroma and flavor, nothing mind-blowing, but quite nice. There was a lasting flowery impression from the gentle hops. Granted, it was overall not a really exciting beer, but it exceeded my expectations quite a bit.

grass aroma, and unconsistent bitterness, which changes a lot as soon as it gets warmer. just another pale lager, not more, and nothing to say about ending.

Pretty typical, bland and watered down. Pours a bright coloured golden with a small thin white head. Taste is of corn, grain and pears. Aroma is of corn also. Noticeably over malted and watered down.

[on tap at Copa of Reading] Large head quickly dissipates; tastes dusty and grainy, unpleasant bitter/sour aftertaste.
