Pours a nice golden yellow. Aromas of malts, hops. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

A very light yellow color and no head. A slightly hoppy aroma and a hoppy flavor a little like Urquell but not as bitter. It has a quite dry taste.

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2005 (Bottle 66 cl) Nice golden colur with a massive, pretty head. Typical Italian lager: mild, some malty sweetness and not that much character. 180603

Golden coloured. Medium bodied, medium bitter. Well brewed standard lager.

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.

UPDATED: MAR 18, 2009 2005-01-01, as Birra della Storia (Alpa snc), 4.8% ABV, 4-2-4-2-8=20
Blond color. Simple aroma: corn, vanilla, cereals. Ordinary Lager, with a raw cereals flavor and very light lemon. Quite strong bitterness.

Blond color. Honeyish aroma. Simple, but again the pleasant honey impression (and some malt, paper, straw). Better than the 150° Anniversario.

Bigger bodied than other major Italian pilsners, with both malt and hay-like hop emerging from its very spritzy body.

33cl bottle at La Scala restaurant, Dover. I was extremely surprised to find 2 scoops in this restaurant, this beer and Dreher. I was here on a works do. Gold, thin white head. Pale malt, sickly lager hop aroma. Some lemon. Slightly creamy in mouth. Finish has some nice hop, touch of bitterness. Slightly nasty.
