Dreher (Italy)

Brewed by Heineken Italia
Style: Pale Lager
Milano, Italy

Che farsene di una Dreher? L’estrema coglionaggine di quattro homebrewers in una giornata di gelido inverno potrebbe essere una risposta; e una lattina mi è pure rimasta in frigo. Sob. (Il peggio deve ancora arrivare però...tenetevi forte per la prossima, folle, esperienza del nostro quadrato)

Pale golden color with a small white head. Aroma is weak malt. Flavor is also weak malt and some hay. Very watery palate and aftertaste. Boring.

bottle (more like a logo for a detergent), yellow colour with unstable white head. Smell:sugary. Taste: very sugary, malty, grainy and very watery. Not so bad but far too watery. Like a ’heineken’-cloon in an italian suit?

Bottle, 66 cl. Pipi-yellow-golden beer, no bubbles, medium white head. Aroma is sweet and skunky malt. Taste is sweet, with a bad light bitter aftertaste.

Good white head, bit irregular, fed by lively carbonated golden beer. Bit sulphury grains nose; cooked vegetables, but not very outspoken. Faint taste of old white bread, and some little sourness from the CO² coming through as flavour. Short metallic impression, finish hints at sweeter malts. Watery, emtpy, fizzy. Terrible lager.

Rooftop sample in ribbed plastic cup, Firenze. Slight soapy aroma with bread, glue and biscuity malt. Deeper gold than some, with a well-behaved head and lacework. Pine needle traces,clean biscuity malt, some nuthusk and pilsy bite, always that licked envelope. No metal or astringency,which is something.

Typical malt lager beer in aroma and appearance. Thin texture and easy to drink.

Can. Light sweet malt aroma. Medium yellow with moderate but quickly dissapating head. Creamy malt flavor with a light touch of hops to finish - similar to a Classic German Pilsner - very nice flavor.
