660ml bottle. Thin beaten gold, head fizzing out in minutes. Some light apple fruit, generic grass and potato, fizz and kolschy pale nuttiness, almost cask in the aroma, and almond as the head dies. Flying saucer, thin fizzy nothing, envelope adhesive and light industrial pear cider fruitiness. Corny and inoffensive, I could finish it but I’m not going to bother.

Canned and bottled in Sardinia. Fairly light and standard lager that does the trick in the heat, not much of a body. A decent finish with some crisp hoppiness lifts it a bit.

Bottle. Sweet barley malt aroma with metallic notes. Pale yellow color with moderate head. Very light sour barley malt flavor - inoffensive but not much there.

Bottle. Pale, dull gold with a thin foam. Aromas are grain with light sweet corn. Damp with some fruit. Flavours are sweet grain and soda water with some buttery notes. Slick on the palate and quite bloating.

330ml bottle. Pale golden body with a diminishing white head. Weak aroma of grain and canned corn. Flavor is light, light malty with almost no bitterness. Short finish. It’s actually drinkable in the heat, but so is water.

66cl bottle @ Italy. Pours clear and pale piss yellow with a off white head. Sweet malty nose. Buiscuit and grain. A bit of rubber and cardboard. Not good

Bottle: Drank out of the dark brown container, however I could tell it was blonde with a white head. Aroma was grassy and slight skunk. The taste was refreshing clean with corn and water. This hit the spot as I soaked up the sun on the beach in Sardina.

330ml bottle. Very pale straw colour with a strong bitter hop aroma and a small white head. Clear and reasonably well carbonated. Thin bodied and watery to look at. Mild bitterness with a hint of sweetness.
