750ml bottle served in an ordinary glass.

A: Nice bottle art. Beautiful label and bottle format with BIRRA stamped in the glass. The beer pours a standard clear light yellow color forming a modest and fainting bubbled white head. Low retention and few lacings formed and left in the glass

S: Classic sweet pale grains and flowery hops Lager combination. Notes of corn and cardboard. Bready-like Lager yeasts

T: Sweet pale grains in upfront. Dry and crispy taste, in overall. Moderate hops bitterness in the end. Citrus hops profile. Some overwhelming notes of corn makes it tastes like a large production cheap Lager. A bit disappointing

M: Light body. Good carbonation. Malty, crispy and light bitter aftertaste

O: Not that bad but...

2.56/5  rDev -8.2%

Golden yellow, not too clear, with an average white foam, quite creamy.
Malty smell, but also corn. Floreal hop. But spoiled by the corn.
The corn is dominant in the taste too, and it makes this beer (supposedly the top of the range) banal and too similar to a lot of other macro lager/pils.
Well, there is some more hop, and even better than usual, but in the end, what is the purpose of this beer, beside pure marketing?
