Nov 8, 2009 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?

Oct 30, 2009 Found at some gas station in Italy (brewed at Heineken Italia’s Comun Nuovo plant), shared with heavy and ogivlado
Nice full golden colour, medium persistent thick white head. Sauerkraut and honey in the nose. What the heck. Typical kinda honeyish maltiness for the strength but lacking the sweetness... some alcohol, oily, some vegetables (less krauty than before), not pleasant but not too assertive.

Jun 28, 2008 Alla spina a Ronco alla Festa della Birra; la volevo assaggiare e costava poco (2.50€ da 40cl); ho fatto bene a pagarla poco: una brodaglia in cui il sentore alcolico domina su tutto il resto. Da bere finché è fredda, perché più si riscalda, peggio è.

Nov 22, 2007 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.
