330 ml bottel. Pours a pale amber with moderate foamy head. Initial huge skunky aromas settle to grain and cardboard. Flavors of grainy dry malts, dry grass, cornmeal and a bit more cardboard. On the positive side, crisp finish

Crisp easy drinking lager. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Decent grain profile. Crisp finish. Tap.

Keg at Bar 27, Inverness, 10/10/21. Pale golden blonde with a good sized white head. Nose is pale malts, cere, grass, herb, breads. Taste comprises pale malts, lemon zip, straw, grains, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. OK logger bier.

Bottle from local Asda. Corn and some floral hops in the nose. Pours a very pale straw colour with virtually no head. Sweet malts to the fore in the mouth, but also apples, a little hoppiness and a hint of ginger. Texture is crisp and refreshing with low carbonation. Finish is sweet and fruity. Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.

Bottom-fermented 'premium' amber beer from an old Italian industrial style brewery (in existence since 1848), distributed by very industrial Forst since the nineties. Bought from an Italian delicacy shop in Waasmunster. Pale greyish-tinged off-white, moussy, medium thick, cobweb-lacing head resting stable on a crystal clear, pure and deep 'ruddy' amber coloured beer with lots of sparkling. Aroma of cooked cloth and melting rubber - the unmistakable effects of pasteurization, toasted peanuts, caramel but not in a sweet way, rusty iron, old crackers, grass, dried basil, vague old dusty hazelnut touch. Clean onset, no fruitiness, going straight to a slick, bit glueish maltiness, medium carbonated, tasting like peanuts, caramel and a bit of toast, the latter in an industrial way (prepacked crackers or something) with a slight metallic side note; ends mildly bitterish from the toastiness of the malts more than from hops even if a grassy note is certainly there, but the pasteurization that killed the beer is there too, with a rubbery, bubblegummy and 'cooked cloth'-like effect draped over everything - effectively ruining the beer for me. Very 'easy' industrial Wiener, admittedly a style you do not see often, but feeling like a maltier version of standard pale lager, which is basically what it comes down to in this case. Opt for Moretti La Rossa instead, if you insist on having an Italian industrial amber lager to wash down the pizza, of course... A stark contrast with all those beautiful craft beers Italy has brought forth in the past few decades.

330ml bottle, online from Beers of Europe. Pours amber pour with a white head. Aroma: toasted bread, caramel. Taste: light sweet & light to moderate bitter, malt led with light floral hops. Medium body and moderate carbonation. OK, goes down easy enough
