Comments: Draught, Q-Beer, Milano. A bready, easy-drinking lager with a solid hop finish.

Bottle, 33cl. Clear golden body, medium carbonation, reasonably sized white head. Herbal and flowery aroma. A well-hopped lager with strong grain and bread notes. Could be refined a bit by adding some some smoothness.

Bottled in Firenze. Aromatic beer. Dark gold, some sweetness, but there is an element of smoked malt, too. It is not dominating, but it is enough to make this stand out among the run of the mill lagers. It is a bit too sweet, though, some hops to balance this would have made a great beer.

Full golden colour, near amber, with a small white head. Hops are well present both in aroma and flavour and give an aromatic taste to the beer.Good personality to be a simple lager. Enjoyable.
