Birra Messina

Brewed by Heineken Italia
Style: Pale Lager
Milano, Italy

Corn yellow with a small head. Pretty completely skunked. Flavour is just simple harsh bitterness. Label says Birra di Sicilia but it’s made in Milan. Green-bottled yellow fizz.

gialla, chiara, dolce, con un pochino di sapore di banana (?strano). acqua minerale italiana di dubbiosa qualità.

Light blond color. Poor aroma; corn. Very watery taste, poor; strong bitterness, short.

Who left this messina my fridge?? Ha ha ha a really funny pun eh? Following my visit to Sardinia in the last review I now arrive in Sicily to sample this beer. I can now see why the mafia are such cranky cusses, because if they have to drink this as an alternative to wine I would think that they have a reason to cut peoples tongues out and leave horses heads on the bedsheets. Just another beer.

incredibly bland, limp, typically italian beer. when are we going to get some birrificio stuff in this country

Typical Italian beer, light and crisp and fairly low on the nasty flavours, still a bit boring though, really light malty start, with some grassyness in the finish, these flavours a are however pretty hard to notice. Dominated by the clean watery texture.

A golden straw color with some cloudiness.Heavily malted with a light to medium body.Had a nice head and the finish was clean.

Malty, light graham cracker aroma. Medium light gold, fair label. Pretty dry, lightly bitter, malty, somewhat watery with a major in bland. Fizzy maltwater finish. Inoffensive, especially for a hot climate brew.
