3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle (in New Zealand), an effervescent pale gold with a large creamy white head. A sweetened malt aroma with a melon-like tartness. A smooth and light palate, the malty flavour is somewhat flowery with only a gentle hoppy dryness. Why can’t more lagers be like this.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled 330ml, pasteurised. Many thanks to San. Pale corn with white fizzed head. Strong hints of maize on the nose and palate, sweetish, perfumed with cardboardy backnote. Poor stuff.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: AUG 25, 2008 Bottled again. Same notes. Light gold colored body with a frothy white head. The aroma is sweet potato with some grass. The taste has some nasty grass and corn. There is also a strange note of summer sausage skin in the finish, not the meat, but the stuff you remove before eating. Another bland pale lager that made me want to drink it as fast as possible to get on to something else.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
330ml bottle as Birra Dalla Storia El Che (thanks to Finn). Almost clear golden body topped by a slowly fading, one-finger head. Careful smell of fresh grass and hay. The taste is also light with mix of pale malt and candy sweetness added a spicy note. Dusty and dry ending (at home 08.11.2007 which was also the BB).
1.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Hazy straw colour with white head that disappears quickly. Hop/corn aroma. Sour bitter tatse. Not the most enjoyable beer from Italy.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: OCT 23, 2009 Bottled. A light blonde coloured lager with a decent enough white head. The aroma is very corny and frankly pretty unpleasant. The taste is better. It’s over sweet but there are some hoppy notes shining through. Having said that it’s not the kind of beer I’d drink again.Score 1.7
Subsequent rating scored 2.3. Average becomes 2.0
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Very nice-looking bottle/label...unfortunately that’s probably the highlight of this one. Very, very pale yellow color with a decent-sized foamy white head. Aroma slight hops with a bit more pronounced corny/malyt aroma. Flavor a bit above the standard pale lager but not very interesting. Went pretty good with the pizza I had for supper but I wouldn’t want to drink this all by itself.
