Brewed by Heineken Italia
Style: Pale Lager
Milano, Italy

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Bottled. First thought: Wierd flavor. Poor e.g. of an Italian beer. Little sweetness with maizey, grainy and hazy feel. I wouldn’t bother buying this ever again... .

This is a watery beer and the tastes are weak.I did not enjoy it at all.It was a nice opening sip through the froth,bitter but that was the end of it.Nice pale gold colour near yellow nothing much else.

33 cl. bottle. "Tradizione di Sicilia". Pours a pale yellow with a short fizzy fast disappearing head. Sweetish grainy and wet hay aroma. The flavour has lots of wt hay, some sweetness and grains. Soft bitterish hay finish. Such a simple boring beer. I guess it would be better on a hot summer day in Italy.

bouteille, bière blonde commerciale sans intérêt sauf de boire une bière de la sicile, comme toute les lager commerciale du monde.

Bottled. Thanx to Dorqui. Bottled. The aroma is barnyardish. The flavour again is maize and some malt as well.

A fairly light, fairly standard lager. A little hops, but not very pleasantly applied. Don’t get me wrong, this is perfectly ok after a day in the sun, but it’s not worth the bother to bring it home!

Bottled. Golden colourm mediumsized white head. Aroma is hay, slight earth and some hops. Flavour is just sweet maize/malts and some very skunky grassy notes. Aftertaste is mainly barnyard. Quite horror, but there are still more horrible things than this one.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 Pale gold with a small white head. Nose of hops and hay. Slightly bitter hoppy pils taste, quite bland overall. Could’ve been better and could’ve been worse...
