33cl bottle at Lunds Nation. This is just bad. Watery and offensive. All the flavors are unbalanced and abrasive.

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Light cornish and caramel malty aroma. Light watery and somewhat cornish with a light caramel note. Thin bodied and light in flavours. Vague bitterness into the finish.

Draught. Pours slightly orange-tinged yellow, with white head. Aroma of mild hops and citrus. Hoppier on the palate, with some bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, with moderate carbonation.

Bottle, Mini Market, Falasarna, Crete. It was either Mythos or Amstel whilst in Crete, and I think this has the edge on the Mythos (just) Am guessing what I tasted is brewed in Greece. A dull lager, but suppose I’ve had worse.

On Draught. A clear yellow colored beer, with a white head. An aroma of malt, fruit and hops. The taste is malty, citrus, and hopbitter. A little bitter aftertaste. Nothing more than an ordinary pilsner

On tap. Pours a typical clear carbonated golden colour. Smell is rather sweet, almost like an "oud bruin" beer, also some malts there. Taste is about the same, not very pleasing, would be an ok. beer, if not for the revolting aftertaste.
