21/12 A 0.66l bottle from a random shop in San Remo, I think. Anyway, it poured golden body with small head. Stinky malty aroma, grainy with some honey. Malty pale lager in flavor as well, eggs, honey/cornflakes and similar typical things. Medium body. Somewhat of herbal hop bitterness is present in the finish which was more sweet anyway, but it raises my opinion on this brew slightly. Not really good anyway.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Crikey this is poor stuff. Pissy gold colour with a thin white head. Unappealing pallid lagery aroma. Something chemical in the flavour, almost antispeptic like, yuk. Deep down I knew this was going to be bad, but hey its a rate. Looking forward to trying some of the good italian beers that are supposed to be out there. This mos’def ain’t one of them.

Bottle, 6.5%. Mild grainy aroma. Clear golden colour. Good stable head, a bit plasticky. The flavour is also grainy, with a bit of sourness. Has a little alcohol note. Quite clean, but also quite uninteresting.

66 cL bottle. Pours almost clear yellow and golden with a huge white head. Aroma is grassy to hayish hoppy. Malty, light sweet, vague metallic and alcohol flavoured. Bitter and dry grassy into a dry finish. Simple.

Nice Italian pale lager. crisp, clean palate, some fruit overtones, but not enough to either displease, or enjoy. Great beer to have with some heavy italian food. not bad, but not great.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Grassy aroma with a hint of citrus. Malty and slightly sweet taste with a faint hint of dry pineapple and a very mild bitterness. Drinkable and refreshing, but not very exciting.

13/10 This is obviously the regular Italian version of Menabrea, 1846 is USA only, so both were rated there so far... Doggythedog and me got a 0.66l bottle that he found in a supermarket in Andora (Italy). It poured golden body with bigger head. Hop and some pale lager malt in aroma. A bit bitter flavor from herbal hops, that raw malt again and some strange toasty notes. Medium body and shorter, bittersweet finish. Nothing special, but fine and pleasant pils/pale lager.
