0.5l can courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who brought it from Slovenia (thanks!)
Poured a pale golden body with a small-medium white head that went away relatively slowly. Very light vegetabley aroma, blah. Watery yet dry taste, NOTHING in it. NOTHING. Some acidity. Hungarian supermarket beer level, possibly lower than most. I guess it’s a bit of an art, ruining water like that.

01/08 0.66 l bottle from Interspar, Udine. It poured golden body with medium sized head. Aroma of some herbal hops, bit papery but fine enough. Flavor is a bit malty, watery, nothing offensive, but almost bland. Well, what else can be expected from a light beer. Some grass hops in the finish. OK and drinkable, but really boring.

Tin on the roof in Firenze. Hideous copper penny, corn, soap, slight dung, mop bucket and potato peel aroma with some salvaging spruce, mercifully deadened by a fleeting head of fluff. Plastic cup, last year’s Xmas tree needles, empty cereal box and postage stamp flavour with faint aspirin sprinkles. Pretty standard issue Italian supermarket effort in actual fact. Nastro tastes like Hardcore IPA after this. At least they had the decency to only charge me 39c for it.

66cl Bottle; Not very good! I wish the alcohol % was higher. Smells like Kix cereal after sitting in milk for an hour. I didn’t bother pouring it in a glass but the bottle isn’t exactly that great (I wouldn’t advertise the 3.5% in bold white font, either!) Flavor is... non-existant. Blah.

gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a hoppy aroma a hoppy bitter spicy taste with a bitter finish

Bottle, Golden blond coloured beer with some average carbonation and an average white head. Light hoppy aroma and a medium palate. Finish is bitter, hoppy, nicely balanced ending, not bad for 3.5% alcohol.

Clear golden blond coloured beer with medium white head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Medium bit wattery palate. Finish is bitter.

33cl can: Clear & plae piss yellow with a off white head. Extremely watery. Some grassy malty notes. Very anonymous!

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Bottled 0,66L. Compact head but much vanishing one. Limpid yellow color with a light and fine fizz. Light aroma with notes of cereals and grass. Indeed much simple with a watery taste where I saved only a pleasant pungent bitter on the end.
