Draft. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of lemons, straw, and spices. The flavor is lemons, straw, and flowers, leading to a tart finish.

Tap at Ma Che Siete a Fà in Rome-Italy. Bright golden/orange pour, medium white foam lowering relatively quick. Nose: white wine, oak wood, green pepper grains. Mouth: champagne carbonation, kind of a riserva white wine, sweet feel of wood with a bitter peppery overall. Tasty one. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
