Commercial Description:
Birra Moretti is a genuine beer produced using a traditional process that has remained almost unchanged since 1859. To produce Birra Moretti, only the highest quality raw materials are used and a particular mixture of valuable hops, that gives the beer its aroma and unique fragrance, intensifying the slight bitter flavour. It is a low fermented beer that has a golden colour, the tone of which is given by the quality of malt used. The alcoholic content is 4,6% volume that make it suitable to drink at any time of the day. In fact it is a perfect accompaniment to both dinner and lunch or to drink in the evening with friends.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with very large white head that fades quickly. The aroma is lots of hay, grass clippings, and some herbal notes. The flavor has a lot of hay, too, but some redeemng malty sweetness. It has a dry, lemony finish with a lingering dry aftertaste. It gets slightly salty as it warms. Nothing great, but it could be much worse.

Bottle. Pours and looks like every other pale lager you have ever seen. Flavor is bland and unexciting. At least there is some hop presence that saves this from being a completely run of the mill lager.

To be honest, I can think of a few beers that would be much, much worse than this, but given the fact that it’s from Italy and let’s face it, Italian beers do not a myth make, I wanted to remain open minded. So with that being said, here’s my opinion. While the aroma, flavor and appearance of the beer are really average (but nice) the mouthfeel is was brings it down. Aroma is grains, corn, some low-level of maltiness in there too but everything was turned down a bit. Appearance was an average golden yellow color, nothing good or bad. Mouthfeel was flat, simple as that. Don’t know if I got a bad batch or what but it was dead. Flavors were nice enough to remind me I was drinking an Italian lager and nothing more. Overall, I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoy mowing my front yard.

Bold golden yellow color with relatively no head at all. Taste is not offensive like some pale lagers, but rather understated. What I’m trying to say is that there is no real taste other than water and a bit of corn. Very thin body...

Bottle 0.33L. Moderate hoppy (herbal) aroma. Clear pale yellow body with an average, frothy, white head; mostly diminishing with a fair lacing. Flavour is moderately bitter with some sweet note at the beginning; short finish. Light-to-medium body with a watery texture; flat carbonation; light metallic feeling in the finish. Honest commercial "lager".
