Crystal clear yellow lager. "Blink and you miss it", small, fizzy, white head. Excellent aroma. Very lemony with notes of honey and a dark fruit not yet experienced by me. Tangy and citrusy with lots of chardonnay in the flavor. Light-bodied and very astringent. Dry finish. Very nice!

Proudly served at a Greek restaurant in Columbus, you have to look pretty closely at the bottle to realize it is actually brewed in the USA, and it is billed as the "official beer of Greece" or some such. The label says it is an "Amber Ale" but it really is a Lager. Golden/amber color with a medium thin white head. Fizzy with little lacing. Aroma is lightly hoppy and lightly malty. Somewhat light-bodied and mildly malty under a low level of hops and citrus. Not a beer I would seek out but goes okay with a gyro platter.

A Greek recipe brewed in the U.S. of A. Noticeably sourish with citrus and bready malt flavors. Interesting. This is probably better than Marathon or the other Greek lagers due to its variation from the norm.

The aroma is weak with water, metal, corn malt, and grass. The appearance is light gold with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall this is a really bland beer.

Cloudy orange yellow color with a small thin-bubbled head. Bready biscuits with some light fruity notes. Starts and ends slightly sweet. I don't believe that this is a lager.

Mild and soft - this is a lot lighter looking than the description of "amber" on the label. Moslty malt dominated - bready and almost sweet. Very little hop presence. This would go fine with food. Nothing special, but at least it doesn't taste like adjuncts.

Bottle; aroma of sweet corn and bread. Dullish gold with a small white head. Light bodied, with a nice palate. Some astringency. Flavor of bread, caramel, corn, and a mild hop finish. Good for the style.
