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.

KnutAlbert (4386) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 29, 2007
Bottle from a tutta birra. Very pale, rather soft beer, some dusty hoppiness, more sweet than bitter. A helles rather than a pils. It is not very impressive, but it way above the standard Italian lagers.

Bottle. Ooooh I’m the 10th to rate this. Aroma is unpleasant. DMS, corn, boiled vegetables. I also detect some weird sort of mintiness as well. Perhaps that is some floral hops? Either way, it’s a pale lager. Transparent yellow color with a big, fluffy whitish head and surprisingly nice lacing. Smooth, lightly sweet and floral flavor to start. A bit grainy in the middle, with some more floral hop notes later on. Decent body that isn’t thin, either. A bit sweet and some may find it cloying. This is inoffensive, drinkable, and a nice pale lager.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - AUG 7, 2007
Blond color, nice perlage. Light malt aroma. Ordinary Lager, but well balanced. Simple, but here at 2200 m.a.s.l., with only trees water and goats around, every beer tastes better.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours gold with a frothy white head. Aroma quite bready. Med body. Flavor is bready with not a great deal of hop - but there is some - seems herby. It has also got a grape note towards the finish. Much more drinkable than most pale lagers.
