Re-rated from tap summer 2023

Unclear pale golden body under a foamy white head. Light and fresh aroma, pale malt, wheat and some spicy yeast. Taste is quite light, a bit sweet pale malt, mild floral hops and a bit spicy. Reminds me a bit of a wheat beer actually. Not bad but not very exiting either. Refreshing at an taverna a hot summer day in town.

Old rating:
330ml bottle. Pale golden body with a diminishing white head. Weak aroma of grain and canned corn. Flavor is light, light malty with almost no bitterness. Short finish. It’s actually drinkable in the heat, but so is water.

Bottle: Drank out of the dark brown container, however I could tell it was blonde with a white head. Aroma was grassy and slight skunk. The taste was refreshing clean with corn and water. This hit the spot as I soaked up the sun on the beach in Sardina.

Bottle. Pale straw with plentiful white head that was short lived. Pleasant light malt aroma with bread and hops. Light body with good carbonation. Refreshing taste, albeit light / subtle. Light malt with hints of citrus with a, slightly metallic, hoppy bitter finish. It’s OK.

Draught at Pianeta Birra, Rimini, Italy.
Last beer on my trip to Rimini. Clear pale yellow coloured, small firm white head, fresh bready and mild hoppy nose. Weak aroma of malt and corn with grassy and bready notes. Almost no bitterness. Dry finish. Refreshing only when air temperature arise over the 37ºC. I was on Sardinia 12 years ago, and I’ve drinked only Heineken, and now, after all this years , I’ve finally found it.
