Menabrea 150° Anniversario Ambrata

Brewed by Menabrea (Forst)
Style: Vienna
Biella, Italy

A beutiful amber color but without much head. It has no aroma but a flavor of hops and a good malt blend. ------- it again - not as good as the first time

(Bottle 66 cl) Reddish almost pink in colour. Light aroma of caramel and a very decent and lasting hop-bite. Nothing much but a neato substitute for the typical Pils. 081104

Bottled. Copperish colour with mediumsized head. Aroma of dark bread, maize and malts. Flavour is sweet malty and maizeish. Palate is ok, not as watery as many other Italians sampled at this occasion. Fancy bottle here again, and actually the content was not too bad.
