Bottle, thanks to KnutAlbert I think, tasted on 30 July 2009. Very pale gold. Dull aroma. Also a bit corny. Tastes better. Quite fruity. Not very interesting though. Came across more like a lager than an ale. There are some exciting beers coming out of Italy these days. Unfortunately this isn’t one of them.

Bottle 500ml. @ chriso.

Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a average to large, creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, bread, fruity - sugar, overriped fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090730]

Bottled@ChrisO. Yellow colour, not much head. Aroma is grains, some mild malts and some strange sweetish notes. Flavour is grains, rubber, sweet malts and some weird sweetness.

500 ml bottle. Bright pale golden. Crystal clear. Tall white fluffy head that clings to the glass. Sharp soapy hop aroma. Cat-piss. Light-bodied. Rubbery flavours and a somewhat powdery texture. Smooth. Disappointing flavours with little malts and not much else either.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Not the most pleasant aroma in the world, but not too bad either. There’s some cooked vegetables up front, then some doughy scents, until a fruity and pale-malty aroma pushes the other away. Grainy and malty flavor, quite fruity, with a subdued hoppy bitterness. Medium body. The finish is like your everyday macro-pilsner, there’s some bitterness, but it’s rather boring. A quaffable, refreshing and boring beer. Thx to KnutAlbert for sharing. (080216)

500 ml can, thanks to KnutAlbert. A crystal clear, pale golden beer with a dense and big white head. Quite unusual aroma of dough and flour. Light malty with whiffs of hay. Taste is nice mix of mellow but distinct hops and medium sweet refined malts. Soft mouthfeel. Mild bitterish end. Nice.

0,5 l bottle. More rounded and fully flavoured than their pils, with more taste drawn out of the malt. But there is some nice hoppiness in there, too, but more flowery than dry.

Big white head. Yellow body. Rubbery, mealy aroma, very light. Light mealy rubbery taste. Soft mouthfeel. Some grain and dust. Boring! (0.5l bottle, thanks to Knut Albert.)
