tap in Rome or Florence, I forget, but it was at the same place I got the Red on tap. The menu listed the abv as 8%. This beer pours golden with a medium sized head and good lacing. It has a sugary malt aroma with a hint of citrus. The flavor is very sweet with just a little hops in there. The high alcohol is buried under all that sweetness. I actually thought this was an enjoyable if simple strong lager.

Rome - Pours gold/amber, has a light hoppy, sweet and slightly fruity nose. Tastes pretty good, is hoppy with a bitter finish, maybe flowers?

This is the first time I've been the only rater of this beer. I had this in Rome along with about 50 others. I had golden fire on tap at a small place. It had a weak sort of skunky aroma. Had a yellow/light orange appearance with medium white head. The taste was relatively flavorful but OK. I'd say not too bad, prove me wrong.

pkbites (509) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 29, 2012
On tap @ "The Wall" night club in Pisa, Italy. Average yellow pour. Completely DOA head. Smelled like cheap whiskey. Thick, syrupy mouth feel. Alcohol content not detected. Goes down rather rough. Like liquid sandpaper.

A very common Strong Lager, with a too high alcohol impression and high bitterness.

Slayer85 (872) - Firenze, ITALY - JUL 21, 2010
Bottle. A clear medium to dark golden beer with a small, frothy/fizzy, fully diminishing white head. The aroma is lightly amlty and lightly hoppy with notes of corn, alcohol, syrup, trace of herbs. The flavour is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly sour, lightly bitter. Medium body, lively to fizzy carbonation, long finish with almost medium bitterness, moderately to heavily alcoholic, unclean, dirty. Poor.
