Commercial Description:
"Our beer really tastes great with all types of food, but one of the characteristics of the original family recipe was that the taste of the beer wouldn't overpower the natural flavor of the spices found in the food. Rather than leave the aftertaste of a sharp beer, Coffaro 'Italian Style' finishes with a smoothness that compliments the spices found in so many cuisines." Brewed and bottled by Lion, Inc, Wilkes-Barre, PA under Licensing Agreement with Coffaro Beer Marketing Company of Brick, NJ.

Nah - not good. Cloudy, dirty yellow color and odd taste. It’s spicy, but not in a good way. Definitely not one of my top picks (or one of my mid-range picks, or even a lower level pick). It’s just plan old not good - down there with Bud and Miller.

(bottle - 12 oz) Slightly cloudy peach color with not much of a head to speak of. Some light dashes of white. The light aroma is kind of sweet. Almost like cotton candy with a hint of grass. Sweet taste of apple juice and some sour hops at the beginning with a watery middle and a warming and semi-bitter hop finish. Slightly sour aftertaste and very thin-bodied.

I tried this, to see. Poured very fizzy with huge head. No aroma? tasted like bud, at first. As it wamed some good tones came out. But stil. Nothing great

I have had worse. Big head initially which goes away just as fast. Aroma of something that I can't place but not that great. Flavor is slightly acidic and very thin. Slight hops finish and is quite dry. An ok lager but can't remember the last time I saw Italians drinking beer with their ziti.
