COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We chose to call our beer Gradisca, because we brew it in this corner of Romagna and San Marino, between the sea and the mountains, a land rich in history and amazing stories. But above all, as a tribute to an illustrious celebrity who was born here, film director Frederico Fellini, who conquered cinema-goers the whole world over with his rich and poetic vein of inspiration, winning as many as four Oscars for his films, including, of course, Amarcord, where Gradisca is the protagonist. Elusive and unattainable, but the object of everyone’s desire. Her sheer grace and elegance are a perfect match for the delicate color of a beer to suit any occasion. This special lager beer has a bright color and forms a light, compact head. The flavor is full and rounded, with a pleasant taste of hops and a delicate scent of flowers. It presents to the palate with a pleasantly fruity aroma accompanied by a refreshing aftertaste of hops that makes it particularly refreshing.

Suggested pairings:
Excellent as an aperitif or with fresh and light dishes such as pizza, vegetables, white meats, sautéed vegetables and savoury pies.

Note: Uses the name Gradisca on the local market, and Prima Donna for export.
Known for being 4.7% ABV in the past, now at 5.2% ABV.

Huge thanks to Krešo for lugging this all the way from San Marino! Not exactly sure how this is different from the E Figoun, but hey. As Amarcord Gradisca. Lovely slightly darker golden body, nice thick white head. Dry grainy nose, kinda typical of Amarcord in some way. Dry grainy taste with some creaminess. Light hopiness, slightly herbal. Nothing too interesting but without any major flaws and clean, in general a good lager. Unless you’re paying through your nose for it.

beer_est_deus (246) - örebro, SWEDEN - APR 26, 2013
Oklar äppel juice färgad med vitt skum och svart-röda jäst prickar som flyter runt utan att vilja sjunka. Doft: Russin, fikon, bränt socker, kola, övermogna apelsiner, äpplen, honung, (lite madeira över doften). Smak: Röda äpplen, fikon, bränt socker, jord, gräs, exotisk fruktsallad, trä. Fresh, lätt drucken och riktigt bra smak för att vara en lager.

Lager ti odio stammi lontano... Questa però non è affatto male! Non trascende affatto dallo stile di appartenenza ma ha quel qualcosa in più che la rende molto bevibile e soprattutto piacevole!
