33cl bottle, local store. Pours clear golden color. Grassy, vegetal aroma. Flavor is vegetal and malt aroma. I did not like this one.

Nice Italian pale lager. crisp, clean palate, some fruit overtones, but not enough to either displease, or enjoy. Great beer to have with some heavy italian food. not bad, but not great.

Bottle. Pours pale golden yellow with a disappearing white head. Aroma is grainy and grassy with a hint of malt. The flavour is more of the same but with a sweetness that doesn’t really belong. Drinkable but pretty boring beer.

Found another pale lager that I really enjoyed. I was a little worried on the pour, which initially reminded me of dirty dishwater. A muted orangish/yellow-y hazy body with a pretty small 1/2" white head. That’s where the disappointed ended. The aroma was refreshingly yeasty with a light apricot note. Body is sweet for a pale lager, but nothing distracting. Light grassy notes show up at the end of the palate and the finish is very clean. No lingering bitterness or off flavors. Very nice pale lager.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden color, frothy white head. Malty aroma. Malty flavor with a hint of grassy hops. Light body, medium carbonation. Moving right along...

Nive citric grainy smell. Somewhat watery taste with some citriness and grainniness. Not much there. Refreshing but boring.

33cl bottle. Pours gold with thin white head. Vanishing foam. Aroma: grain, vegetal, citrus. Flavor is bitterness with light sweetness. Light body, soft carbonation.

A 0.33L bottle. Pale hey coloured. Mild malty nose. Pale head. Waterly slightly hoppy taste. Slight hints of lemon in the taste.
