The Mastino court was one of the bravest and extreme supporters of the Ghibellines (supporters of the imperial authority). There were a strong friendship and a mutual respect between the Scaligeri family and the emperor’s court. Monaco of Bavaria was already then the most important imperial city: the ancient armies who reached Italy in order to oppose the Guelphs (Papacy’s authority supporters) departed from here. This amber beer with a high malt character and excellent for welding the strongest friendship pacts is dedicated to this splendid city.

Monaco (AMBER LAGER) is an amber-red coloured beer with fruity and slightly toasted aromas. The mouthfeel is a Monaco malt taste complemented with a distinct hint of caramel and with a pleasantly dry and very delicate aftertaste. A fresh and pretty drinkable beer..

Bottle, huge thanks Iznogud & Max! Lovely misty amber-red body, off white head. Superb malty, slightly jammy aroma, light herbal touches. Lean but smooth taste, well developed nutty-fruity touch, some dry herbal notes, ends on the sweetish sided. Classy!

Draft at the source courtesy of Mauro, thank you! Clear deep amber color dense tan head. Nice aroma of toasted caramel, subtle fruit. Taste starts with not-to-sweet caramel, more fruit, subtle roast, nutty finish. Very tasty.
