Lightly foggy yet also lightly sparkling straw yellow with a fuzzy foam head of moderate height retaining thick but airy.

While a little toastier up front than I expect from a blonde, this then glides into a little sweet corn and a touch of nut with just a skosh of astringency.

The medium-light body finishes quite dry, but its expandingly soft carbonation froths up quite a bit more with a swish to help soften it up.

On tap in Rome. Pours golden with white head. Aroma is of grain and some hops. Body is light and smooth. Taste is of some grain and maybe some hops. Finish is short, barely noticeable. Standard macro crap.

This Blonde was welcome on a hot summer day... but was a bit thin by itself.
Yet the evening was saved because it went great with light summer food at an Eataly restaurant.

I'm not a great fan of how lagers Look and their Smells also are not distinctive. Menebrea's blonde follows my bias.
But this has an unusually well-balanced flavor that also goes well with Italian food. For that, it gets its highest marks.

This beer was more reminiscent of soda water than it was of a lager. Lacking in taste and smell.
Almost no head; any head that there was resembled that of Sprite.
