Bottled@O’malleys, Vasa. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grass, grains, some sweet malts as well as mild hayish notes. Flavour is quite much the same, but also has some slight rubbery notes.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color lager with a medium size pure white bubbly head with average retention and not much lacing. Aroma of sweet adjunct is not very interesting. Taste is also dominated by some sweet adjunct though quite bland at the end of the day. Body is about average with some average carbonation as well. I am sure Italy as a lot more to offer in terms of craft beer then this crap.

66cl Bottle @ Italy. Pours clear and pale yellow with a white foam and lacings. Nose is mild of hay and grain. Overall weak and harmless. No off flavors. Medium to watery palate. Ends dry with notes of maize

Nice sweet easy and tasty. typical mediterranean. pleasant in everything. pleases everybody

Fairly pale pour, light lager-ish, taste is sharp, bitter, reminiscent of a dutch lager. Decent enough but nothing memorable.

"Poured a decent white cap for a pale lager that was really noisy and disappeared to a thin film very quickly, comes complete with a pale gold body. Nat says it looks like champagne. Musty apple, weak Euro hops, very mild aroma that’s non offensive. Flavour is also very mild with bready / grass clipping malts and a metallic finish. Hops come across dark and bitter but also very mild. This comes across overall very sweet with a barnyard like quality but it remains drinkable but very forgettable.

Bottle.Pours pale golden with a moderate frothy white head. Low carbonation. Fresh hop aroma. Fresh mouthfeel, Rather dry hoppy taste, with a nice malty sweet end.

30.05.2009, 0,33l Bottle. Yellow colour. Clear with firm white head. Aroma is sweet malt. There is very little hops in the aroma and aftertaste. It tastes in a way like a non-alcohol beer.
