Bottle at RBESG Rome Grand Tasting. Amber colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel. Flavour is light sweet, malty, caramel, nutty, light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.

330ml bottle. Light brown with quite a frothy head. Toasted malt, caramel and some plum sweetness in the aroma. That and unfortunately some wet rag. Watery, though less than their pale lager, with the caramelly and toasted malt base present, and some light bitterness in the finish. Not too bad, though resembling a watery dunkel more than a dark bock.

Bubbly beige head, rich malty taste with a hint of butterscotch. Very drinkable as well, superb beer, a pleasant surprise.

Another goodie from top-level Italian industrial beer, Castello. 33cl bottle, alc 6.5%, brewed at S.Giorgio di Nogaro plant. Clear amber red, short beige head, center goes down quickly but a ring always remains on the glass. Aroma is toasted cereals, caramel, hop, maybe a note of cherry. Tickly ans slicky mouthfeel, balanced bittersweet, dry. Body is thin for a red, gassy and a bit harsh, but drinkable and refreshing. Got a pitcher of this at Pedavena plant, it was a lot of fun.

Amber colour, thick cream white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet, lychee, some liquorice (zoete drop). Taste mainly sweet. Caramel, thin malts. Slight bitterness. Overall quite thin bodied. (from 33cL bottle)
