0.66 bottle from Assemini plant. Very pale yellow, soapy white head with a fair lacing. Strawy nose. Reminds me of Moretti and Dreher, same brewer... Straw and hay with some light lager malts, corn, cardboard. Hoppiness is there, leading to a bitter finish, but it’s unbalanced and harsh. Watery body.

OK hoppy aroma but very weak in colour and appearance. Nothing actively dislikeable but not a great lager by any stretch.

[330ml bottle, Sardinia] Bottles everywhere in Sardinia, pours clear pale yellow with decent rising carbonation and a thin head. A classic light, grassy hop lager. On holiday it’s pretty good, out of context it wouldn’t be that great at all. However I drank loads of these and enjoyed every one. Scorewise, however, it’s a sweet, slightly hopped Eurolager so I have to judge accordingly [06092011]

.66l bottle in Umbrian supermarket. Wow, about the palest watery beer i’ve seen. tart grass, corn, manure. working umbrian farm flavors, i guess. maybe some honey if you’re generous. pretty bad, but not offensive

28/08 0.66 l bottle from Coop store, Gradisca d’Isonzo. It poured very pale yellow body with smaller to moderate head. Hay, grainy and raw dusty aroma. Weaker acidic corny and grainy flavor. Thinner in body but that ugly acidic corny notes needed to evoke long finish. No mater how you look at it its total crap.

Guess this is it. Courtesy of heavy (thanks!)
Poured a very pale golden body with a small white head that went away fast. Fant dusty nose, apple and alcohol... oh no... Tastes like a crappy perry, extremely light bitterness. Drinkable crap but still crap.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, pours bright yellow with a small hea,aroma of malt, sugar, alcohol and rice, flavor of rice, sugar, malt and light bitterness, light bodied

Bottle shared at a tasting. Thanks mom for this bottle! Clear golden. Aroma of sugary cooked cereals. Sweetish grainy flavor with a bit of sugariness and a drier finish. Light-bodied.
