3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle 0,66ltr bought in Italy: This is mine favorite Italian lager, golden looks with some fruity/herbel taste and very fresh tatse.
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle. About what I was expecting, another Italian disapointment. Is looking for a decent Italian lager to go with pizza such a cursed quest? The aroma to this beer is just foul, as skunked doesn’t even begin to describe it. The visuals are right on for the style, pale yellow with a fizzy, pure white head. The flavor was a bit better than I was expecting from the aroma, but not by much. Corn and a bit of a hoppy note dominate here. Bahhh.. Moving on.

Dry caramelly lightly roasty aftertaste with light hoppy notes. (0.33l bottle from gr0ve, label says Birra dalla Storia Mao Tse-tung.)

Thanks to my niece who got it in Italy for me.
Pours clear golden with a small white head.
Nose is dry herbs and grass.
Aroma’s are a bit fruity and grainy. This beer totally lacks body and aftertaste.
Overall bad beer.
