50 cl bottle, 1.80€, nice design. Pale gold, clear, with moderate white head. Nose is slightly hoppy. Aroma is weak on malts with a grassy hoppiness. Taste is rather flat with a soft bitter edge and some saltiness. Light bodied, average carbonation. Nothing particular but refreshing, was expecting something more refined, but not bad.

Pedavena Speziale, 5.9%.So, this might be the most "illegal" rate I’ll make. The bottle broke in my kitchen, and when I started cleaning I just drained what was left in some pieces of the bottle that could hold liquid into a glass. Got 2 sips out of it, and possibly tiny glass shards (ok, no, I really checked for those). Poor heavy who bought the bottle in Italy got screwed out of a rate. Light golden body tinged with amber. Sweet malty nose, sticky and jammy. It continues into the taste, leaving a note of jaffa cakes. Not much hop bitterness. Malt dominated and not nearly as offensive and better than I expected it to be. Watery. Even though I did get a borderline rate out of this, I’m definitely rerating this ASAP.

Second of two Italian lagers tried at Pub Italia (the other being Castello). Comes in a Dolomiti footed pilsner glass. Same yellow colour with a white frothy head and a little lacing. Again, pilsner nose with light grass. The mouthfeel is crisp and almost dry. Malty taste with notes of hop that makes things grassy. Some light sweetness was also present. This one is definitely a bit better than the Castello. "A bit", I said.

Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer with a dense, white head of moderate size. Malty and fruity nose with a distinct alcohol touch. All quite weak. It’s full-bodied and slightly warming on the palate, with an appropriate level of carbonation. The flavor is pretty much like the aroma, malty and fruity with the alcohol in the back. It’s doesn’t feel as sweetish as the aroma does, but it’s still far from a world class brew. Still, I could drink it again, at least if the choice was some crappy pale lager. 110624
