Pils Hellas, brewed by Hellenic Brewery of Atalanti, is an “authentic Greek beer” dating back to 1996. Hellenic Brewery of Atalanti is also commonly known as EZA!
Review: 0,5l can of Pils Hellas: 4.5% vol.
Another Greek beer I had on my holidays in Corfu.
As it says on the can, this original product of Greece, has a “tradition since 1996”. To be honest that is not much of a long tradition, but I guess you have to start somewhere.
The colour is a nice golden yellow, and we get a nice small frothy white head but it does die a death.
A good bit of carbonation bubbling along but it doesn’t seem to be doing any good as the beer has a general flat appearance in total.
A faint light malty, grainy and lagery smell on the nose, but overall its pretty odourless.
The taste is not bad, first impressions are all good. A light tasting lager, with a slight creamy taste on the tongue. Not a huge amount of stand out tastes or flavours but it is doing the job of keeping me happy, going down easy enough, all smooth.
Get the barley malt, and lots of it! A bit watery at times too but not enough to be annoying, cant imagine if it was served warm, luckily mine was in the fridge and came out all cool.
On the company’s website they mention that the beer “has an intense hop flavour”, that’s quite funny, I couldn’t detect that.
An inoffensive beer, soft and light bodied and smooth enough. Overall, overloaded with nice sweet malts.
Finally, it is ok, does the business, But nothing to shout home about, a holiday beer.
