1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
11.2 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very pale yellow with a thin creamy head that fades quickly. A ghastly skunkiness protrudes far from this one. Otherwise the aroma is sweet grains and grass. The taste is about as damn close to tasteless as you can get. Literally, this seems like overcarbonated seltzer water. Extremely faint grain and grass is in there, but its really easy to miss it. Thin, watery, very strong carbonation. Very poor beer.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2011 0.66 bottle, 4.8%, 0.89€. This is a very particular beer, completely different in taste to other industrial brews. Must be tasted at 7-8 °C, too cold will kill flavour, too warm will make it dull. Quiet flowery nose. Pours clear pale gold with creamy white head which lasts until the end of glass., medium carbonation. Aroma is mostly cornflakes, very strong taste of corn, some barley and cookies, and there’s a feel of floral & honey. Hop presence very light, sweet and smooth body, finish feel is somewhat sticky. Complete opposite to standard dry lagers. Not the best in the category, but it has it’s character. Less tasteful of Kronen, but still top level Italian (or, watta hell, Tiroler...) industrial production.

Bottle - Clear gold. High carbonation. Thin watery body. Sweet with some floral hop flavour. Corn. Very little bitterness. All up rather watery and tasteless.

Di gran lunga la peggiore del viaggio in Austria. L’aspetto è comune, l’olfatto assente ed il gusto piuttosto sgradevole (grazie all’aggiunta di mais).

yellow pour. Creamed corn, corn flakes, canned corn, you get the gist? Oh man this stuff is bad. Really bad.

Bottle and on tap.Color golden color with a medium white head. Aroma, hops. Taste, hops, bittersweet finish. On tap drinkable beer, from bottle disaster. I rate only beer on tap.

On tap at pizzaria in Verona. Golden yellow body with slight head. Nose of malts and corn. Was quite malty and dry. Enjoyed it quite a bit.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
(Bottled, sampled 2010-04-30) Clear pale golden with a small, fading head. Lots of diacetyl in the nose with some corny maltiness. Slightly cardboardy-corny flavor with diacetyl. Had a pizza with the rest of this sample, which brought out a touch of metal, and herby hops. Light body, reasonably refreshing, not watery. The diacetyl brings some "micro" feel to this otherwise dull lager.
