Commercial Description:
Prima Donna Special Lager is a classic lager noted for its unique aroma and its unsurpassed hoppy flavour. It is characterized by a brillant golden color, a compact head, and its fresh, thirst-quenching qualities.

An Oscar-winning beer
…we chose to call our beer Gradisca, because we brew it in this corner of Romagna and San Marino, between the sea and the hills, a land rich in history and amazing stories. But above all, as a tribute to an illustrious celebrity who was born here, film director Frederico Fellini, who conquered cinema-goers the whole world over with his rich and poetic vein of inspiration, winning as many as four Oscars for his films, including, of course, Amarcord, where Gradisca is the protagonist. 4.7% Alc. Vol.

Note: Uses the name Gradisca on the local market, and Prima Donna for export.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma has notes of grain, malt, brewmash, and some hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of grain, brewmash, and some straw, leading to a smooth hay finish.

Swing-top bottle. Orange, lemon and barley malt aroma. Slightly hazy golden color with moderate head. Sweet light orange and barley malt flavor. Light body. Nice, easy drinking beer - but pretty light.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is an ok biscuity malt. Flavor is again mostly biscuit malt but a nice hop bite follows I don’t get in most lagers. This has more body than your average lager and its quite solid.

330 ml bottle purchased as part of a beers of summer 10 pack from World Market. Pour is slightly hazed pale golden with a foamy 2 inch white head. Head falls quickly with minimal lacing. Aroma of some straw, mild, not much else. Not a bad nose, just not much there. Taste is similar to the nose, grass, a touch of caramel malt sweet, and not a whole lot else. As it warms, a bit lemon floral comes out adding a nice dimension. Palate is light in body, bordering on watery, high level of carbonation and a clean finish. It actually has a bit of creaminess to it, which is odd. Drinkable enough.

Bottle thanks to Steph’s sister in the international multipack. 021 5327. Hazy light amber with a straw hint with small white, fizzy head. Aroma is dry grain, not much else. Flavor is medium sweet citrus and grain with some floral properties as well. Light body with creaminess. Not bad.
