12 oz bottle -pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is malt, then medium malt-caramel. Taste is medium malt-caramel then doughy, secondary hops bite. Nice Vienna lager OK carbonation.

Bottle from a tutta birra. Very pale, rather soft beer, some dusty hoppiness, more sweet than bitter. A helles rather than a pils. It is not very impressive, but it way above the standard Italian lagers.

Bottle. Ooooh I’m the 10th to rate this. Aroma is unpleasant. DMS, corn, boiled vegetables. I also detect some weird sort of mintiness as well. Perhaps that is some floral hops? Either way, it’s a pale lager. Transparent yellow color with a big, fluffy whitish head and surprisingly nice lacing. Smooth, lightly sweet and floral flavor to start. A bit grainy in the middle, with some more floral hop notes later on. Decent body that isn’t thin, either. A bit sweet and some may find it cloying. This is inoffensive, drinkable, and a nice pale lager.

Similar to the other Italian beers that I’ve had - Peroni, Moretti. Refreshing - has some carbonation. Drinkable - but nothing special.

Blond color, nice perlage. Light malt aroma. Ordinary Lager, but well balanced. Simple, but here at 2200 m.a.s.l., with only trees water and goats around, every beer tastes better.
