tap in Rome or Florence, I forget, but it was at the same place I got the Red on tap. The menu listed the abv as 8%. This beer pours golden with a medium sized head and good lacing. It has a sugary malt aroma with a hint of citrus. The flavor is very sweet with just a little hops in there. The high alcohol is buried under all that sweetness. I actually thought this was an enjoyable if simple strong lager.

Rome - Pours gold/amber, has a light hoppy, sweet and slightly fruity nose. Tastes pretty good, is hoppy with a bitter finish, maybe flowers?

This is the first time I've been the only rater of this beer. I had this in Rome along with about 50 others. I had golden fire on tap at a small place. It had a weak sort of skunky aroma. Had a yellow/light orange appearance with medium white head. The taste was relatively flavorful but OK. I'd say not too bad, prove me wrong.

A very common Strong Lager, with a too high alcohol impression and high bitterness.

30/10 A 0.33 l bottle from a gas station near Voghera. Same bottle as the previous two raters, of course. It had golden body with medium sized head. Weak sourish aroma, cidery and slightly corny. Honey malt in the flavor, alcoholic for sure with some corny sourish notes. Really boring and after all, thin bodied. Warming, alcoholic finish. ESL? Where are the hops...this is a bad and relatively unpleasant beer. Ready for the dragon?
