3.4Pours a clear golden yellow with a thin white ring. Bold lager aroma. Smooth with a nice light lager taste. Refreshing and enjoyable
3.0Clear golden pour with a thin white head and bands of lacing …. Aroma of sweet malts, light grass and a little floral hop with light grains …. Taste is the same grains, sweet malts, little grass and light floral hops …. Thin bodied, little watery and simple …. Sessionable little brew, nothing harmful here …. Great lawn mowing beer
2.4Drank this in Greece at a restaurant. Not so fancy but not bad either, goes well with lemon pasta on a hot day. Notes of grass and citrus and that's about it to be honest.
2.2Bottle, 500ml. Pours clear yellow with a bit of a reddish tint. Head is white and short lasting. Body is light with medium strong carbonation and a light slightly sticky mouth feel. Taste is gently sweet with very light of bitterness. Flavor of light malt, cooked hops, some canned flavors, some darker roasted malts, some lemon. Ok. Probably your best choice of the common macro beers in Greece.
1.7De color dorado, ligera y de carbonatación media. Al servirla vemos una pequeña cabeza blanca de poca duración. Aroma débiles a cereales y pan. Sabor levemente amargo.
A gusto personal, inferior a Mythos.
2.75% alc. but still quite light easy drinkin' beer. Pale golden in colour with small white head. Teste of grass and bread.
2.5At the price point it's extremely good. Altough slightly watery and fall short to some of the other greek lowprice beers such as vergina and alpha in my opinion. Reminds me a bit of Budweiser actually
3.0Can. Pale golden beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is yeasty with some dry fruitiness, and the flavour is yeasty and dry with a reasonable length of finish. Overall a reasonable pale lager.
3.0Old rating from 18/10/14 - my favourite beer from my Greece trip of that year. This 330ml bottle I poured at home in Jersey. It's amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of cereal, honey, bread & malt. Medium body. Slightly bitter finish. Certainly better than the other popular beers found in the average bar / restaurant in Greece. Enjoyable there, decent at home
3.2Slightly skunked super crisp pale lager. The pilsner malt is good. Typical carlsberg beer. Ambrosia athens
1.3In the category of European lager beers there are many low quality products. Drinks with the name of beer with the sole purpose of quenching thirst. Too bad beer.
2.7Bottle at Panellēnion restaurant, Kalabaka, Greece Tuesday 1st September 2020 after a 19.5km hike around the Meteora Monasteries in 37c heat and then a short walk back from the campsite. Pours gold with a white head, excellent clarity. Wow this has almost nothing about it at all, cold, light (*very light bitterness) it is so bland. Ok
2.8Goudgeel pils met een witte volle schuimkraag. Licht moutig en zacht van karakter. Goede doordrinker. Prima pils.
2.5Not my type of Lager. There are much better beers in Greece!
3.0Pale straw. Crackery malt. Lightly sulphuric with a little bit of green apple. Light bodied and a bit carbonic. Okay.
1.9Small bottle from beer of the month club. pale yellow pour, with a tiny white head. aroma is light cooked veggies, minerals, whisps of apple. mouth feel is thin, carb is very low. finish is mealy, malts are stale and lightly musty. Wet paper, low bitterness, no hops.
2.6A small bottle from BC Liquor in North Burnaby.
A medium amber beer with white head and a mild malted nose. Served well chilled after a good long walk. Not much bittering found on the palate. Mostly the palate impressions are of sweet malts. About an average pale lager, I would say.
3.0Light amber with OK head.
Grainy/malt aroma.
Maltier than I expected in the palate.
OK lager.
2.8473 ml can from the LCBO. Pours a clear golden colour with modest-sized white head. Aroma is kinda skunky grains with some grass. Flavour is grains, a little vegetal character and light grass. Medium bodied. Meh.
1.5Bottle from Discount Liquor Waukesha. Maybe this one aged on the shelf a bit. Almost no carbonation. Has a strange sweetness on the front and a wild overpowering bitterness on the back end. It's quite a rollercoaster ride. Leaves a slight bitter aftertaste in the throat. Not particularly good.
