2.6 Optisch tiefgoldgelb und klar mit ansehnlicher feiner bis mittelgrober Perlage. Die weiße, fein- bis mittelporige Schaumkrone gibt sich flaumig, einigermaßen stabil und durchaus gut haltbar. Im Duft getreidig und brotig malzig. Der Antrunk wirkt durchaus okay, angenehm spritzig und relativ dünn getreidig-malzig. Der Mittelteil gestaltet sich ebenso sehr einfach, dünn, getreidig-malzig mit leicht trocken-herben Hopfenton. Rein aromatisch zwar sehr dünn und bescheiden, aber ohne Fehler und weit weg von schlecht. Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit sind diesem Bier entsprechend ganz okay. Im Nachtrunk fällt die Aromatik rasch ab und eine leicht trockene bis aschige Hopfenherbe bleibt stehen. Fazit: Als schneller Durstlöscher an heißen Sommertagen taugt es schon.
2.0 Simple beer, nothing complex or fancy in this one. White top, fast dissapearin. Notes of hay, malts, a few hops and a slight metalic note too. Skunky aroma. Tiny bubbles.Taste is grass and cardboard, no urine, which is good.
2.6 Second beer on the Kefalonia trip and we're finally getting somewhere. The aroma off this badboy was alot more pleasant than the previous beer. Standard lager colour but one thing to note is it doesn't retain a head very well. The taste off this beer was more complex, smooth and very easy to drink but the taste does fade away quite quickly.
2.1 Flat, soulless beer that quenches my thirst but not my search for quality.
3.0 Three fingers of head light brown color. Fruity flavors that are pleasant and simple. Medium body. Pleasant finish.
2.4 Draft and can, multiple sessions. Another pretty typical European macro lager, this was maybe my top choice among the lacklaster choices around the country. Standard golden appearance, malty sweetness. (#8261, 5/2022)

1.0 Pours clear, pale golden with a two finger, white head. Aroma is corn and grass. Taste is light corn, moving to tart grass. Finish is grassy corn.
2.4 Blonde pale limpide, presque aucune mousse. Arômes herbal résineux miel Floral. Goût sucré léger, amertume faible. Carbonatation fine un peu faible. Assez facile à boire mais pas extraordinaire.
2.0 330ml can (random kiosk, Athens). Clear yellow color. Watery, malty, dusty in aroma/taste.
2.4 Botella 0,33l Dorada con espuma blanca, fina, alta, resistente. Aroma malta, cereales, herbal. Sabor entre dulzor suave y ligero amargor, malta, cereales, herbal.
2.3 [33cl bottle at a Greek eatery in Reading.] An amber pour with a short lived white head; sweet aroma; sweet grainy taste; and a touch of grassy bitterness. A typical Mediterranean lager beer.
0.9 Biroholik is drinking an Alfa (Aλφα) Beer by Athenian Brewery at Larco Hotel Larnaca Tragiczny miodowy, utleniony lager. Wodnisty, słodki, karmelowy. Jak woda z miodem i cukrem. Syf. Purchased at Best Western Plus Larco Hotel
2.1 0.33 bottle from Roda Stadion, Belgrade Grainy, barley aroma. Pours clear golden color with small head. Rich yeast and barley notes. Dry. Not so drinkable in my opinion. Slightly soar. Unbalanced.
0.5 Pudsig bitter pilsner.
2.5 Old Untappd checkin, March 4, 2017. Green glass bottle. Light golden color, little head, clear appearance. Not much of an aroma. Light on flavor, smooth finish.
2.3 Chutievalo … no je to vonavsie europivo
1.5 Szczyny, ale lane jeszcze ujdzie
2.4 Low malty aroma. Golden, transparent with a slight white foam. malt on the palate, slightly sour aftertaste. Medium body, medium carbonation.
2.7 Bottle: 330 ml, Price: 0,85 eur. Vacation in Greece (Crete) Eilinis lageras, bet per karščius visai gerai.
2.9 Bottle from Village Vintners, Pyrford. Malty aroma. Light amber. Thin translucent white head of 1mm or less around the rim. Light-medium sour. Caramel sweetness. Ligh bodied. Thin but slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Not the saccharine yeasty Euro stuff I was preempting. Not great either. Passable.
2.2 Simple beer, nothing complex or fancy in this one. Notes of hay, malts, a few hops and a slight metalic note too. Refreshing during a hot summer day.
2.3 Can, 330ml. Pours clear pale yellow with some head. Carbonation is medium, body is light and crisp, sharp. Notable sweetness, very mild acidity, hints of bitterness. Aromas of pale malt, lemon, can/corny. Almost no flavors. Very easy drinking when cold, not a beer to think about.
1.9 This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a bottle, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are lager malts, straw, grassy, corn, not very good.
3.3 Aroma is skunk, grains/malts and a hint of spicy hops. The flavor is grains/malts, mild citrus, fruit and and a smooth/slightly sweet/hint of spicy hops finish.
2.1 Old rating from 23/10/14 - 330ml bottle from my Greece trip. Pours a golden colour with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of corn, cardboard, grass, slightly metallic & sweet malt. Light body. Light bitter sweet finish. Poor even in Greece, let alone at home.
3.2 Typical mass produced lager in a green bottle. Skunky as hell, but underneath it’s a typical class lager. Saita Athens
2.4 Inoffensive dry Pilsner style beer, without the hops or the bitterness.
2.7 Aroma give you a lot of malty nose. The taste is bittersweet. The beer is refreshing and slightly watery. The finish has some bitterness but not very strong. The mouthfeel is weak for the style and in general and the carboration medium. Also i notice some metallic aftertaste but no too strong. Nothing serious. Overall one medium to bad lager beer to drink. Exist two types "Lager Beers". The expensive like "Anchor lager" "Asahi super dry", "Peroni" ect and the cheap beers like "Heineken", "Abstel" ect. This is in the cheap side and is one of the best choice you can get from there.
