The resurrection of Greece's oldest beer — Fix Hellas was first brewed in 1864 by Bavarian immigrant Johann Karl Fix in Athens, making it the founding beer of Greek brewing history. Discontinued in 1983 and revived by Athenian Brewery in 2012, Fix Hellas is now one of Greece's premium lager brands: clean, golden and crisp with a slightly more pronounced hop character than Mythos. Fix carries enormous Greek historical and cultural significance.

Appearance

Fix Hellas presents a brilliant pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting appearance characteristic of a well-crafted Euro pale lager. A modest white head forms and dissipates gracefully, leaving light lacing on the glass. The beer's fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence that speaks to its crisp, refreshing nature.

Aroma

The nose is clean and refined with subtle herbal and floral hop notes that distinguish it from more pedestrian lagers. Light grainy and bready malt undertones provide a gentle sweetness without overwhelming the delicate profile. Mineral accents add complexity while maintaining the beer's refreshing, understated character.

Taste

The palate is remarkably clean and smooth, leading with light malt sweetness and grainy character that develops into subtle hop bitterness mid-palate. The finish remains crisp and dry, with a slight herbal minerality that lingers pleasantly without assertiveness. This is an elegant expression of restraint—sophisticated rather than bold.
