| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Light straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma of malt and some yeast; Flavor of slight sweet malt, light hops, and some grain; Not as bland as I expected; Overall, a decent macro lager.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Nov 18, 2009 bottle, (which I like!), golden colour with white unstable head. Smell: malty and a bit skunky. Taste: watery, yeasty, grainy. Far too watery beer but drinkable. Nothing more. wimpie133 (189), Brugge, Belgium
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Bottle, 66 cl. Blonde-golden beer with bubbles, little white lacing foam. Aroma is grainy, malty, yeasty, certainly not super and a bit cheap. Taste is grainy with a light hoppy finish. Maybe a bit more fine taste and this could be a good beer. Vaiz (177), Netherlands
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Just had a bottle at an Italian pizza restaurant. No distinct aroma, very light and clear color. Head dissipates immideately, but maybe that was just the glass. Pretty decent beer to accompany my carpaccio pizza. 22415brewery (67), redmond, Washington, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Not horrible. But I’m definitely not lovin it. What some would consider Italy’s "other" beer besides the mass produced Peroni. Nothing special about this one, a little more noble hop character and a slightly fuller finish with a touch of hop-essence...perhap extract? make this a more complex beer than the Peroni. In the end though, neither are really worth it. pootzboy (1048), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Second bottled Italian beer sample from the LCBO singles bin and definitely the better of the two.
This one puts a golden lager in the glass with a decent 2 finger cap that has fair retention and lace.
Aroma of biscuity Munich carapils over subtle noble hops.
Mild character but with decent body and smooth mouth feel. Good dose of malts in front with herbal earthy Hallertau and Spalter hops riding just below the malt profile, fast clean malty finish.
This is about as good as you can expect from a corporate brewer. ROGUE (712), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, light gold in color with a one finger white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is rich malt with a light spiced hop in the background. The flavor is rich maltiness that’s backed by grassy, spicy hops leaving a short, dry finish with a mild malt and bitterness. Well balanced with a light to medium body.
