33cl Bottle at Restaurant Bella Storia. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, light malty, honey, corn, light hops. Flavour is sweet, malty, light grainy, light flowery, honey, light bitter hoppy finish. Light bodied. Not bad.

It’s darker than that picture for sure. Very sweet and honeyed on the nose with some lightly dusky blossom to it. I’m actually surprised by how thick this is. It’s so sweet though, but the flavour isn’t the worst and there is PLENTY of it. Could be a friggin’ mead for how it tastes. I really didn’t expect to give this a 3.

En lys skumhat. en flot farve. Dejlig med små luftbobler og dug på glasset.

Aroma: Floral notes.

Appearance: Clear, golden body. Bubbly white head. Light carbonation.

Taste: Soft, clean taste. Gentle, bitter finish. Not very complex.

Palate: Very light mouthfeel.

Overall: Decent, but not very interesting.

Ok beer but compared to its high price is boring. Brewed from malt, corn, hops, yeast and water.

Pours golden with a thin wispy white head. Notes are light bready, pale malt, bitter herbs. Thin to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Enjoyable but not exceptional.

11.2oz bottle in a shaker. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of pale malts, a little bit of light fruits, and light floral hops. Light texture. Decent for its style.

Lighter golden color, almost no head. Italian beers make no secret of their use of corn, which is evident in this one. Baked bread smell with a hint of skunk and flowers. Standard lager taste - light malts and hops only as a distant accent. Nice beer to have with heavy carb oriented foods.
