Oct 3, 2009 Medium golden-orange color, high, foamy head that starts moving back quickly. Rich, malty aroma, medium sweetness, cereals and grains, biscuits, and hops. Possibly slightly skunked. Rich malt flavor, not at all overly sweet, strong, rich, good hopping. Biscuits strong. Cereals. Decently dry finish with hops and alcohol. Rather pleasant, though probably should have more subtle malt flavors for its strength. Doesn’t hide the alcohol well at all. Too bland.

Oct 1, 2009 Based upon my experiences in Italy, it would seem that most strong beers there suffer from an overdose of sweetness.
Pale gold, caramel malt aroma and a taste that was a not too pleasant mix of sweet and (very slight) bitter.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle. A clear pale yellow beer with amedium sized and enough persistent white head. Neutral aroma , lightly malty and hoppy, with notes of alcohol, The flavour has a medium sweetness, with corn, grains and some hop notes. Medium body, lively to fizzy carbonation, medium finish with medium bitterness. Quite alcoholic and at the same time too watery. It tastes like a strong lager.

Apr 14, 2009 07/04 0.33 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, thanks! It poured darker golden body with smaller to medium sized head. A bit hoppy aroma, herbal, with notes of some sweet malt. In not so impressive way, all in all. Flavor was boring as well, malty sticky sweetness tasted with alcohol, simply there is nothing special here! Its thick body had longer sweet alcoholic finish. Not good...I had a feeling of drinking a malt liquor, more than some kind of an ale.

Apr 7, 2009 Bottle (brewed at the Comun Nuovo (BG) plant) shared with heavy, courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!)
Poured an orange-gold body with a small white head that went away fast. Grainy, sticky malty nose. The taste is kinda flowery, but dry, and dusty in a bad way. Dull, some light lemony nose. Light notes of yoghurt show up and slightly herbal hopiness. Unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Boring. Could be worse but that doesn’t make it a good beer, especially if you take into considerations some other stronger golden ales, like those from Belgium.

Dec 20, 2008 I got this in italy. This was clear to the pour with a small head and aroma of grass and grains. This was watery and not much taste overall but there was a bitterness at the end.
