Draught, Cafe Batani, Piazzale Michaelanelo, Firenze. At 6 Euros for a 200ml flute, probably the most expensive draught beer I’ve had anywhere in the world, and certainly one of the most scenic. Anyway, pale with a greenish tinge and a thinning white rim. Herbal fresh hop, dabs of eucalyptus and honey aroma. Quenching lemon and pine needle bite, slight dishcloth dankness, faint mist, earthy piney hop. Good lingering dryness, dip of breadstick. Lean, refreshing and citrussy pils. Top drawer Italian macro, was totally convinced it was German. Am I rating the right beer??

Pale lager - bready aroma, a bit rabitfoody. Rabbit foody taste, some paperiness or cardboard. Finish is rabbit food. Eugh. Warmer it’s a DMS mess all up the nose. Eugh++. (4-:2:3:2:5-=1.6--)

Bottle. Grassy aroma. Grassy flavor with a hint of citrus. Just a bit of hops in the finish. Very well drinkable, when served cold.

Yellow to Golden colour, I actually drink both tap and bottle. Kind of Tuborg taste lager. Ok like a avarage beer. You can usually drink at any English pub in Florance.

Bottle 33 cl. Clear yellow with a dense white head. Fine hoppy aroma. Medium body, dominated by cardboard and brewing cereal. Finishes dry. 210309

Discreta birra dal colore dorato, buoni sentori di malto e retrogusto con note leggermente amare, tutto sommato una pale lager leggermente superiore alla media delle italiane di grande produzione.

Bottle, 4.8%. Clear yellow colour. Very small white head. Grainy flavour, a little paper. OK sweetness for a pale lager. Standard pale lager.
