Look: A slightly hazy golden body is capped by a fluffy head of white foam. Both the head retention and lacing are very good.
Smell: Bright and fresh with a strong floral note that’s backed by grassy and fruity notes.
Taste: A basic golden malt is at its heart, lightly sweet, and tempered by grassy, floral, and gently herbal hops while a stiff bitterness anchors it and leads it to an eventual dry finish. Some floral character lingers with a light touch of apple-like fruitiness.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp - it’s almost too soft on carbonation but still borderline.
Overall: Italians enjoy their beers a little bit softer on the tongue, and that can be seen here in the bottle, and also in the way that they generally pour their beers “alla spina”. I have no problem with that myself but others might expect a little more carbonation. Beyond that it’s fairly flawless and quite charming in its depth of character given that it’s such a simple beer.
