Bottle 0,33ltr bought in Italy: AMber red coloured beer from Milan. Dry bitter taste and hints if you taste good of caramel. Tried better "Italian Reds".

Draft at the pub "Mad Jack" Rome/Italy: Clear red colour, with a nice creamy head. Aroma of malts citric, fruity, with a caramelly ending. Flavor has a smouth creamy mouth feeling, thin body, and a short citric/bitter fnish.

0.33 l bottle. Reddish amber color. Malty, toffeish, and slightly fruity aroma. Sweetish, malty and toffeish flavor with some toasted notes and very low bitterness. One dimensional.

Nice, dark amber color and a good, but quickly disappearing head. It’s very malty and slightly hoppy and perhaps a few notes of flower and fruit. The bitterness is moderate. I tasted this one as one of my first. Back then it was a woow sensation, but a re-rating collapsed my memory of it - and now it’s just plain ordinary...

tap in a pub in Florence (or maybe it was Rome) - Maybe this beer is just better on tap in Italy than in the bottles as I thought it was quite good. It pours clear red with a one finger white head that sticks around and laces nicely. The aroma is caramel malt and the flavor is a moderately intense caramel malt with some roast character. It’s sweet and easy drinking with a little mild hops. Good session brew. Finally, I found a good Italian beer while I was there, though I didn’t know it was Italian.
