Old Rating. Birra Moretti has a thick, white head and a clear, yellow appearance, with moderate carbonation. The aroma is an overall typical, faint beer smell, but with subtle bread and malt characteristics. Taste is a delicate mix of barley malt and bread, with a touch of hops for balance. Mouth-feel is light and watery, and Birra Moretti finishes refreshing and fairly dry

Clear light gold pour. Small white head. Mild corn and malt aroma. Taste is mostly corn - not bad for the style but not great.

Decent body for a pale lager. Tastes a bit like a heftier perroni, due to a higher malt presence (but still light).

Bottle. Poured a straw yellow. Nose is grassy and malty. Very crisp and well balanced pilsner. A hint of sweetness in the middle Finish is a bit bitter. Definitely better than run of the mill.

Bottle (660ml): Nice & clean with some grassy hops & grain and a scent of corn as well and possible barely too. I also detected a light citrus & wheat smell but nothing too strong. Forms a thin but well lasting white head over a clear, light golden amber coloured liquid. A light lemon/citrus taste mixed with a grain like malt taste. Finished of with a light bitter finish that was quite pleasant. A really smooth beer with all round nice texture. It is quite light, perhaps a little too watery but nothing terrible and is quite refreshing. A pleasant, easy to drink session beer than is incredibly smooth and very drinkable. One I would probably drink again in the future. - - - - - http://abarwithnoname.wordpress.com

Fairly clean on the nose, though a little sweetcorn going on. Pours a light golden colour but head disappears almost instantly.There is a hint of oxidation on the palate but the hops are very dry and zingy. In terma of commerically found lagers, this might be a reasonable fall back.

I thought this had a little more body than the other pale ales i had this night. Flavorful enough to make it distinguishable. I would probably take another one of these if offered.

Bottle sample. Pours a very golden yellow, no real head or lace, very carbonated. Aroma is a little hop like, not much else. Taste is a little grainy, slight corn.
