330 ml bottle. Crystal clear amber with a tall fluffy white head. Dry crisp caramelly aroma with grassy hops. Flat flavour profile and a dry powdery texture with a little hop bitterness. A bit watery and thin, but with some caramel and burnt sugars. Lightly cloying oxidized sweet character.

Amber light off white head. Some spots of lace. Rather sweet in the nose. Mostly of husk and caramel. Almost an aroma of basil or oregano. I think I am just imagining it because the beer is from Italy. Shrug. Strong caramel in the taste. Less herbal notes, but still present. Some notes of bitterness, but not all that much. The body is thick and a touch syrupy. Palaete is cloying and has an overly sweet finish.

(Draught@Rotterdam, Helsinki) Clear amber with a very small, fading head. Mild, a bit strange and stuffy aroma of vegetably malt and hints of cinnamon. Toffee-malty, neutral and acidic flavor with some diacetyl and cardboard. Light to medium-bodied, fizzy palate. An unclean and boring vienna, served way too cold and maybe not at its best.
