Medium offwhite lasting head. Slightly hazy pale golden body with very light carbonation. Acidic malty aroma with fruity notes. Soft lightly acidic wheaty fruit taste, quite light and delicate. Dry caramelly lightly roasty aftertaste with light hoppy notes. (0.33l bottle from gr0ve, label says Birra dalla Storia Mao Tse-tung.)

Bottle. Poured very pale golden with slight white head. Aroma of grain / bread with some reasonable floral / hoppy notes. Thin bodied with moderate carbonation. Grain taste rescued to some extent by pleasant hops. Not great, but not bad.

33cl Bottle "Birra Dalla Storia", Subtitled: "El Che Vive". Thanks to my niece who got it in Italy for me. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Nose is dry herbs and grass. Aroma’s are a bit fruity and grainy. This beer totally lacks body and aftertaste. Overall bad beer.

a grainy aroma from a light gold beer with a large foamy white head. a full grainy flavor in a pale lager is always appreciated so i can’t completely dislike this one. light body. fair.

So pale it’s hardly there. Vanilla, pine and light kolschy fruit straight out of the bottle. I know it’s cheating and cheap to stick corn in your beers, but sometimes it imparts some pleasantly creamy flavours. And anyway, the maize is less apparent here than the noble hops. Fresh, grassy and uncomplicated, with way more (coniferous) hop presence than most beers of its ilk. I thought this was a pretty decent proper pilsner, and certainly not a pissy pale lager.
