1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20Tastes like it looks: like a sweet pale lager. It’s mostly inoffensive apart from a sugary adjunct base. Makes me even think I’d prefer an Australian lager. Maybe.

Flaska @ Jamie´s Italian, Edinburgh. Guldfärgad, vitt skum. Gräsiga och peppriga dofter. Ljust bröd, gräs, lime i smaken. Passar sig väl som matöl.

Couple of bottles around Taormina, Sicily. Clear gold beer, little white head. Crispy palate. Clean lagerish malts, trace of paper and a whisper of banana ester. Inoffensive.

Bitter taste with soap palate. White and thin foam disappearing immediately. Light colour. Never again.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle 33cl, a clear pale yellow beer with medium head. Nose is on grassy hops. Aroma is medium malty to low with a light burnt caramel touch, medium bitter, paper notes, low body, unexistant finish, poor lager.

Pours amber with a small head.
Nose shows banana, hay and faint grainy malt. Faint but not bad.
Less interesting flavours; hay, grainy malt, little else. Finishes weakly with a mild bitterness.
Very watery body and high carbonation.

Pretty good approximation of a full pilsner. Straw and toffee nose. Quite grassy. Could do a lot worse for the style.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Pours a pure golden colour with a creamy white head that fades quickly. Aroma is a hint of citrus and yeast, the taste is watery and a hint of some fruits with a dry finish.

tried this in honor of an old school friend named "Paul Messina". was pleasantly surprised by the "hops-forward" bouquet.
the initial hit on the palate was full of citrus but the finish was extraordinarily dry - as if the taste was vacuumed out of my mouth.
very refreshing. very "euro" in style to my palate.
