Bottle, Despar. Medium hazy yellow golden, medium white head, medium lasting. Gentle spicy nose, slightly sheaty. Mild bitterness, slightly herbal, a bit spicy. Herbal aftertaste. Light. Ok, though nothing special, really. Missing the salty character.

Bottle. Murky golden body, with medium white head. Grainy aroma, herbal hops. Taste is grany, no salt, some light metallic notes maybe. Okay lager. I didn't except at all the saltiness of a gose, but at least some salt...

Brewed in Birrificio di Massafra Very good, dense & fine, lightly yellowish head, not really stable, over metallic golden beer. Bit nutty nose, roasted potatoes, corn flakes, some caramel & toast. Dry, neutral flavour. Rather watery, flour or maizena dissolved. Carbonation is not excessive, but the absence of taste makes it quite prominent. Light body, ever so slightly slick. International pale lager, adjunct-ridden, made in Tarente, as the label clearly states.

Bottle, gifted by a Sicilian restaurant. Nose is lemony hops and corn, light malt. Clear, pale gold. Flavor is thin, grainy, but pretty decent hop bitterness, and citrus flavor. Not terrible. Rather crisp. Malt character not impressive.

Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow sporting a big white bubbly head. Aroma of yeast, malts, dough and lemons. Taste is all that with a little hint of salt though maybe that‘s just my Imageination. Slightly tart. Low to medium bitterness. Medium carbonation. Ok, I feared worse.
