Menabrea 150° Anniversario Bionda

Brewed by Menabrea (Forst)
Style: Pale Lager
Biella, Italy

bottle - pours golden-green with a creamy, frothy white head. The aroma is malty with a bit of corn. The flavor is mostly grassy and hoppy. It’s kind of boring like most pale lagers (but that’s just me), but this is by far one of the best macro beers Italy has to offer in this category.

Golden color with white head. The aroma is of flowers and hop, the light body ends with a good bitterish taste. Good as appetizer.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Grassy aroma with a hint of citrus. Malty and slightly sweet taste with a faint hint of dry pineapple and a very mild bitterness. Drinkable and refreshing, but not very exciting.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a clear pale golden beer with a lacing white head. Some saaz hops accompanied by boiled milk and pale malt in the nose. Strong bitterness in the taste with pineapple, carrot and dried apple showing up. Biscuity pale malts. Reminiscent of Budweiser Budvar. Long dry grassy hoppy finish. Surprisingly good with a great saaz hop profile.

Bottle. Sour, skunky malt aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Light stale barley malt flavor. Very little flavor and what’s there isn’t that great.

Bottle at Malpensa. Golden color. Malty nose with hints of caramel. Flavor is quite sweet, almost honeyish. Not that great.
