fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub Golden color with creamy head. An ordinary Ale, with some caramel but also a disturbing touch of burnt malt, both the aroma and flavor, rather unpleasant. mgermani (591), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada May 10, 2008 Pours an orange/amber with a light head with decent retention. Not much of an aroma present. Tastes slightly hoppier than I expected, light citrus with sudsy notes and present alcohol. Thin body but decent carbonation. Better than the Lager. probstk (660), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Mar 25, 2007 Sampled at the brewpub. MR24/07.
