A clear amber beer with a two finger head. Not much carbonation present in the beer. Slight malt character on the beer otherwise clean tasting. Nothing majorly wrong just feels run of the mill. Many other mainstream lagers I would pick over this hence the below average score of 2.

Clean fragrance which reminds me of sparkling water. Lovely easy drinking, clean, palatable and very moreish flavour. Very reminiscent of heineken. The finish is clean and slightly sweet. Really nice.

An easy-drinking, refreshing lager. Clean finish and pours with a lovely foam.
Likely would’ve tasted better with a view of the Aegean and a plate of calamari, but it ended up pairing well with my takeaway pizza.

Golden beer with a slight malt taste, clean and crisp. Better than your bog standard Heineken!

After reading the description I thought that wasn’t the same beer I just tasted. Yes it is light and golden, but where is the large head? Chilled for an hour you would expect it to be foamy, not all. Apart from that it was an easy drinking beer and a reasonable punch at 5% ABV.

Just as I remember from drinking this in Athens a few years ago. Standard Aegean lager, light and refreshing. Perfect for a summers day

Might be nice sitting in the sun when visiting Greek, but didn’t blow me away whilst drinking in the sun at home. Average but wouldn’t say I wouldn’t drink it again given the opportunity.

This one didn’t do anything for me. I found it very light, little body, although it did have a clean finish.

Nice, enjoyable, something a bit different but I wouldn’t rush to drink it again
