Standard pale lager from an old school Italian lager brewery founded by one Giuseppe Menabrea in 1846 in the Piemonte region, distributed internationally - but not in Belgium, as I have never encountered it here and sampled it from tap at a hotel in Scotland. Stable and frothy, membrane-lacing, snow white head slowly diminishing over a clear yellow golden robe with visible sparkling. Aroma of wet cereals, industrial white bread, grass, minerals, hints of raw potato, raw cauliflower even, damp cotton cloth, vague diluted tonic water. Crisp onset, neutral but feeling very pure and agreeably clean, like a babbling brook - an effect I can surely appreciate in a lager. Very strong carbonation adds to this overall crisp minerality, running through a smooth, slender, sweetish graininess, a tad white-bready even, acquiring a grassy, subtle yet clear and pure hop bitterness in its tail, balancing and even efficiently drying - at least to general macro pale lager standards. Simple by nature - the style intrinsically calls for that - but clean, pure and easygoing, topping the likes of Moretti and Peroni as far as I am concerned, even to the extent that in a blind tasting test, I may easily take it for a true German Pilsener. Efficient and above average for the style, in my opinion, pairing well with the haggis bon bons I had at the aforementioned hotel.

Bottled. Grass & grain, a tolerable pale lager better than most you’ll find from these parts.

Bottle. Pours gold with white head. Malty, bit grassy. Low to medium bitterness. I was thirsty, it was okay
