***review from early 2008***
More beer from the undrinkable International box of beer. Hot, slutty chick with the pouty lips on the label doesn’t hurt! Poured out a nice thick, white cap with so-so retention and some lacing. Yellow gold brew. The aroma wasn’t bad at all but still had some below average grain and nothing much else. The taste was surprisingly adequate... crisp and fresh with some corn and grainy malts and a bit of hops. The mouth feel was thin and a bit harsh.

I prejudged this beer as crap just on the look of the bottle and the fact it came from a international beer verity pack, but it turned out to be very drinkable. The beer poured a golden yellow with a nice thick white head that lasted the entire life of the beer. Very little aroma but a nice crisp taste and lots of carbonation the caused a few good belches. The flavor had a good balance of hops and yeast, but finished a bit metallicy. This beer was enjoyable.

0,66 l bottle from a Bologna supermarket. The girl on the label is probably the best about this. Italian discount beer at its usual low, thin, watery and some cardboard, though there is a hint of grain here.

Bottle, from Rhythm & Booze, Brigg. Gold, big fluffy white head and moderate condition. Pleasant grassy hoppiness and slight sweet grain in the nose, Slight estery sweetness in the mouth with a touch of harsh dryness emerging, short dry finish with a lingering suggestion of esters.

Bottled(660ml). -from Pam supermarket across main railway station in Trieste, Italy.
Typical Italian beer. Clear yellow coloured, huge quick-disappearing white head, corn nose. Faint malty and cereals aroma. Watery with harsh bitter finish.

Bottled 0,66L. Optimal shining yellow color with an insistent and nice fizz. Clear and escaping head. Light aroma of dampen cereals, straw and wheat. Much simple one and with a watery and gaunt taste. Typical discount beer however with a satisfactory appearance.
