Menabrea 1846

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

Bottled (alc. 4.7%). Pale yellow color, small white head. Skunky grassy and grainy aroma with sweet corn notes. Fizzy carbonation. Harsh maltyness with honey, lemon and corn flavors. Unbalanced brew with odd flavors but at least it is not "just another pale lager" as I expected. Me does not like.

330ml bottle. Pours a pale yellow, very small head that lasts about 20 seconds. Not much inthe way of aroma. Bit of a metalic hint and a little acidic. A mouth feel like fizzy water with almost not taste. A little bitterness but only just. Wouldn’t buy it again.

A typical clear straw-yellow, not much of a head. Aroma is crisp and strong, but otherwise unremarkable. Flavor is rather typical of a lager - malty and crisp but not complex; at least it tastes like beer. Texture is smooth and just a little tingly.

0.33 l bottle from K-market Länsiväylä, Jyväskylä. Pale golden color with white head. Delicate honeyish malt aroma with notes of lemon. The flavor is about even with honeyish malt and herbal-grassy hops. The bitterness in the finish is slightly rough.

One of the better pale lagers I found in Italy. There actually is malt flavor, and there is decent palate. Some bitterness, and grain flavor. Well above average.

Light golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of grassy hops. The flavour is grass, some malt and a slightly bitter finish.

Clean wheat bread taste. Not much going on, but very drinkable. A great alternative to peroni.

I had this at a Parkland restaurant. Nothing much too good here. Yellow pour with a white head. Aroma is very grainy with lots of malt. Flavor is a bit watery, full of corn and cereal. Meh.
