Birra Moretti Sans Souci Export

Brewed by Heineken Italia
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Milano, Italy

Bottle. Small frothy white head that mostly diminished. Spare lacing. Clear flat body with a pale yellow colour. Aroma was weak with notes of hay, corn, caramel, grain. Light bodied with a thin texture. Flavour was light sweet with some light bitter notes. Light bitter and slightly dry finish.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is alcohol, malra and quite sweet notes. Flavour is alcohol, sweetness and some dry cardboard and quite sourish. Not very pleasant, yet not very bad either.

Bottled (BB 05/2007)
Golden color, small white head. Unpleasant cardboardish nose. Sweetish, cardboardish, no hops found here. Cheap useless petrol station lager, adding the word "Export" doesn’t upgrade the quality.

Out of Date bottle. Quite good in terms of basic stronger lagers, quite a bit of percieved bitterness, possibly from malts asopposed ot hops. Good head retention.

Bottle at Bennys.. Golden with nice head. Aroma and flavor of malt and finish hoppy. Well balanced.

Clear golden colour with a white head. Malty, light skunky aroma. Malty, light buttery flavor with a sweet finish.

Blond, white foam. no aroma, no taste. Bitter. Good with pizza..perhaps...

Ooohh, some very low ratings for a beer that, as far as Italian brewing goes, had a little flavour and character. Poured into a stem glass, clear gold with a short soapy white head. Head seemed to stick around for the length and left rings down the glass. Grainy, lemon and honey aroma with a light caramel note. Bready and oddly yeasty palate, quite sweet with a hint of marmalade coming through to add a zesty balance. Fresh in flavour, very clean and light in body and carbonation, it had a little noticeable alcohol in the back (odd for a lager of modest strength), before finishing with a reasonably long, dry and grassy swallow. Quite refreshing, this was one of the better Moretti lagers, obviously intended for the export market. Simple, but not too bad.
