2009-11-11, bottle at the local Italian! AP: golden yellow with medium high diminising head AR: hoppy not to interesting F. hoppy, malt mediumlow bitterness I tried this years ago but didn’t rate it then (so I had to have an other :-( )

Bottle. Watery gold with white specks and no head. Metal, grass and raw potato aroma. Thin and astringent, no alcohol showing, but plenty of flour, coin, adhesive. Hay and honey hints, astringent afters trying to be hops, plenty of corn and spoiling metal. Straw and toasted grain like a n/a beer despite the 5.6%. Couldn’t manage anywhere near 660ml.

Bottle. Cooked vegetable and hay hops aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Cooked vegetable malt flavor with a mild hops finish. Luckily DMS flavor not as strong as the smell but still not very nice.

Bottle in Italy (hey, it’s all they had). Light golden-yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of pale malt and grassy hops. Flavor more of the same with graininess. Light on the palate with fairly high carbonation. Not terrible for what it is.

330ml bottle. Pours a pale gold, not head to speak of. Slight hoppy nose. Pine and alcohol flavour, bit wierd but not unplesent. No real aftertaste.

Bottle 0,33ltr bought in Italy: The hoppier bier from Moretti with its mildly bitter finish.

Pours a bright golden orange colour with a large malty white head. Lots of carbonation, and malt flavors. Grainy mid-palate, and a little watery at times.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden colour with a big good lasting white creamish head leaving some lacing. Aroma of grass with some bitter hops. Thin mouthfeel. Waterish flavour with grass, hops and bit of metal. Short lasting mildly bitter grassy finish.
