1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
An orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is skunky with notes of both malt, brewing syrup, and corn. The flavor is sour corny with a light caramel touch and the end is dry. The body is thin.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
My label looks the same, though mind says Castello di Udine Birra Italiana, 12oz, no date. Pours a clear golden with a one and a half finger bone white head. Aroma is of some light spicy hops, paper, old dried raisins, and a little bit of tanginess. Flavor is paper and light sweet malts, and the old dried raisins. Very little, if any, bitterness. Creamed corn finish. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Not spectacular.

0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Canned. pale yllow in colour. Foamy white head. It has a somewhat repulsive aroma. It’s malty with a barnyardish scent. The flavour is watery and kinda metallic. Thanks to "Dorqui" for this one.

Canned. Golden colour, small white head. Barnyard in aroma, along with hops. Flavour is diacetylic, paprery and skunked hops. Unpleasantly sweet. Mouthdrying, yet the palate is watery.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Made an average lager appearance, poured a clear golden with a foamy head that settled into a thin, sudsy lacing, good carbonation.
Had a nose of spicy hops, lemon grassy and a sweet grainy, bready maltiness.
A crisp and smooth light bodied mouthfeel, above average pale lager drinkability.
Dry grain bready with a light lemon grassy taste, spicy as well and a dry sweet bready and grassy finish.
Better than I was expecting, a decent Euro Pale Lager.
