Brewed by Birrificio Italiano
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Lurago Marinone (CO), Italy

Draught at the brewpub. Hop cone on top of the foam - cool! Murky golden colour, with cottony white head. Fresh, grassy hops up front in aroma, along with a clear pale maltiness. Very clean and crisp flavour with grassy hoppiness. Super clean maltiness with fine bitterness.

Draught, Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà, Rome, Italy. Murky golden yellow. Beautiful head of foam. Spicy hops in the nose, with some vibrancy. Flavor is crisp & clean, with lots of hop character, hints of lemon and herbs. Finish lasts well. Very good, high quality lager. This is with out a doubt one of Italy’s best brewers.

Draught. At Cole’s in Buffalo. In the glass it looked like grapefruit juice - murky orange, solid smallish lasting off-white head. Pretty big aroma - pungent grassy yeast, dry strong spice, sweet malt (I got banana, near hefe levels, the other thought I was nuts) - smelled like an odd hefeweizen/pils/BdG hybrid. The taste was amazing - complex, bold, variable - dry and crisp, long-lasting fresh grassy hops, pungent dry spice, a decidedly backgrounded sweet fruity malt body. The mouthfeel was dry and carried a moderate bitterness into the finish - oddest pilsener I’ve ever had, but a fantastic beer, so refreshing is every way.

On tap at Coles
Appearance: Clear gold like brew with fine white top , finely laced lager presented.4+
Nose : Frontal- grainy nose , light barley hints , end- faint hop hallertau aroma 6+
Flavor/Palate : Medium-full bodied. Initial impression of near perfect prepared golden grains, hints of fresh meadow and of grassy hops. With time this pils becomes a bit more dry. It transforms from Bohemian to North German character. This brew is wholesome refreshing, crisp, with dry hop accents.

On tap @ Cole’s! What a coup. Aroma of fine noble hops, some fruity aspects and a mild malt presence, light golden amber, tiny white head. Those sensational hops are interwoven with the fine malt, creating a harmony of flavour like homemade bread. Light bodied, very well balanced, bitterness is perfect, washes over the tongue, teasing me to have more, and I succumb. Wonderful! The best Pilsener I’ve had.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. By far, way far the best pilsner Ive ever had. Similar to De Ranke XX bitter almost. Yeasty, dry full bodied. Pours a hazy cloudy medium yellow. Wit looking. Dry crisp & yeasty. Nice hop bitterness but not too much to change the overall concept. Very good. I could drink this all day

Forse è solo sfortuna, ma ho provato a comprarne una bottiglia ed era andata a male. Due settimane dopo ci ho riprovato ed era andata a male. Entrambe le bottiglie comprate direttamente al birrificio, messe in frigorifero la sera e bevute dopo 2 giorni, quindi eventuali problemi di cattiva conservazione da parte mia sono da escludere.

Big offwhite head. Yellow body with suspended yeast particles. Light malty grassy aroma. Dry grassy malty taste with fruity resiny hop notes. Full-bodied. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Notes of dandelion, peppery hops, and a long, lingering citric bitterness. Some grain in the aftertaste, too. Very nice. An excellent pilsener. (0.75l bottle from Isola della Birra, Milan.)
