floydian1 (481) - FNQ, AUSTRALIA - MAR 26, 2010
330ml bottle. Pours straw yellow with a decent white head and lacing. Nose is rich grainy malts with a nice grassy hop presence. It has a fullish body with a smooth crispy palate. Satisfying lingering grassy hop bitterness to the finish. Certainly exceeded expectations as I have found that most Italian beers are very ordinary. Reminded me of a Trumer Pils.

Jade (294) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 6, 2010
Clear golden colour, moderately carbonated. Aroma is strong, almost a tomato scent to it. Very acidic feel to it. Sour tasting. Must admit, not a pleasant beer, actually tipped it out.

mkel07 (1556) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JAN 30, 2010
330ml bottle. Plae yellow, the colour of fresh cut hay witrh a fluffy white head and grain and grass aromas. Smooth and crisp on the palate with quite a nice flavour. Would be okay to drink while sitting in a paizza in Rome watching the world go by.

beerbill (2850) - Laurel, New York, USA - MAY 21, 2009
Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a moderate white head that lasted through the first two sips and left scant lace. Aroma of husky grains, lager yeast, malt and corn. The flavor is basically the same husky grains, lager yeast, malt and corn. Very little sweetness. Bitter, bordering on acidic finish. Not very good.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAR 28, 2009
Thisted tasting. It is golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of cabbage, light malt and flower. The flavour has the same note of cabbage and light malt, flower and the finish is disturbed by a harsh citrus.
