Style: Pale Lager
Biella, Italy

Bottle. Another boring pale lager. Weak straw aroma, sweet taste, thin palate, and pale look.

Pale golden pour. The nose is sort of odd. Thin with a lot of corn character. A strange, grassy, lightly sweaty nose. Odd.

Pours a clear gold. Sharp, funky lager arouma. Tastes dry with grass, grains and plenty of corn. Finishes funky with some skunk. bleh.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Crikey this is poor stuff. Pissy gold colour with a thin white head. Unappealing pallid lagery aroma. Something chemical in the flavour, almost antispeptic like, yuk. Deep down I knew this was going to be bad, but hey its a rate. Looking forward to trying some of the good italian beers that are supposed to be out there. This mos’def ain’t one of them.

Bottle from zdk. Very grilled cheesy, kind of corny, thyme aroma. Not exactly a desired aroma for beer though it is not offensive. Small head. The taste is kind of flagrant and offensive, crisp I guess but buttery and very herbal. Yuck.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2009 Bottle from beergeeks ... clear golden pour with white head ... sweet straw corn malty aroma .... light lacing bready sweet fruity malt taste with a clean finish ..... the sweetness isn’t overbearing so its not bad for a macro .... light bitter finish very sessionable

Bottle - clear gold. White head which quickly dies back to a thin layer. Sweet, slightly grassy. Thin bodied with hight carbonation. Just another pale lager but better than some (Mind you, on a 40 degree day after mowing the lawn I reckon I could take a liking to it.)

Bottle. Pale gold, white head. Inviting fruit/ bread aroma. Quite sweet. Meh.
