Cask at Bir & Fud Rome/Italy: Hazy yellow colour, with a creamy head.. Aroma of dry malty nose, with a bit citris nose in the end. Flavor has a typical german dry malty mouth feeling, with a thin to medium body, medium malty finish. A werry nice beer.

Sep 8, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange to yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma is mild spiced and dry grassy to hay-ish. Flavour follows this closely with a unique dry grassy/hay-ish base flavour and with a mild caramel malty sweetness. Delicate fruity accent too and a mild bitterness emerging towards a dry yet light fruity hoppy finish. Nice and tasty pilsner!

Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 24, 2008My Bottom Line:
Riveting grassy, herbal hops entertain until the very end as balancing hay provides completion and crispness. This may be a Classic German Pilsener, but it certainly seems to be imbued with a touch of Italian flair.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A bobbing head of foam crowns the hazy blond.
-The frothy, soft effervescence admirably propels all flavors.
-It may not be as characterful as some of my favorite Bohemian Pilsener experiences, but it is nonetheless a splendid example of its own style.
-This pils proved to be a tad variable in all pints I had. The first in Rome was very hoppy, almost an extra-hopped version of the style. The second, a couple of days later, proved to be a lot yeastier in the flavor profile. I guess they had gotten towards the end of the keg. The glass at the brewery itself was probably the cleanest and most quintessential example of the style I could imagine. Another pint back in Rome was close to the version at the brewery, but with an added citrusy touch. From 4.4 to 3.8, I have to say all pints were immensely enjoyable.
-The bottle proved to be nearly as pleasant as all tap experience, and reminded me most of the version I had at the brewery.
On tap at the brewery in Lurago Marinone and at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà, in Rome, and from the bottle once back home.

Aug 7, 2008 My friend Artem bought this for me, other wise I would not have paid the $14 flute price at the Beer Table. It’s difficult to really describe a well made pils, cause in a way they are rather simple but glorious in there simplicity. On the other hand, the flaws become so evident that it becomes easy to make a bad one. Well this on is good because there aren’t any flaws. It pours a thicker shade of golden than one usually sees from a pils. In general its a slightly sweeter and earthy pils with a slightly thicker body. Put all those things together and you got something wonderful and extremely quaffable. Highly recommended if you can find it for a better price.

Aug 4, 2008 Wow...an excellent beer with a lot more flavor than a typical euro pils. A bit citrus and a touch of hops. Nice fluffy head as well. I tried this at the Red Coat Tavern in Royal Oak on tap. I really enjoyed it...

Aug 2, 2008 Draught @ Beer Table, Brooklyn. Pours a hazy dark yellow, fluffy white head that eventually disappears without lacing. Nose is subdued, a bit spicy, herbal hops peek through. Taste is a bit spicy, subdued biscuity malt with a very faint, musty yeast note, citrusy crisp finish with an herbal hop note that kind of emerges a second or two after the swallow. Really subtle, a lot going on for a pils. Delicious beer, utterly refreshing. Crisp carbonation, slightly creamy, medium body.
