Alpen Brau
Castello Di Udine S.p.A.

I grabbed this brew at a supermarket near Arona, Italy. It pours a pale yellow color, with considerable fizzyness. The head is a thin, but soapy film. It's clear, simple, and straightforward. Not much of an aroma. There's certainly a european hop flavor, but it's very restrained. The label says 'export lager', although it's light and spritzy. The beer tends to be a bit on the dry side, which suits it well. It would be a fine brew for a hot sunny day. It's not, however, complex, and if you're looking for more than a solid thirst quencher, you might be dissapointed.
