16 oz can.

Pours a clear bright golden color with a massive effervescent white head. The head has excellent retention, stubbornly hanging around before leaving some clingy cobweb lacing. Bubbles for days.

Aromas of damp hay and grass, as well as some toasted bready malts, honey, and grapefruit.

There's flavors of white grapes, toasted bread, wet grass, lemon, honey, and subtle grapefruit.

The feel is medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth and dry with a light crispness.

Overall, this is a very good pilsner. It's labeled as an "Italian-style pilsner", utilizing Italian malts, however the German Hallertau Blanc hops definitely lead the flavor profile here. It's clean and easy to drink.

 

 

Clear, golden amber body; excellent carbonation; thin yet dense and creamy head; spotty patches of foam stick to the glass. Light malt aroma. Very faint malt flavor; excellent hop bitterness. Medium-light body; crisp with just a touch of residual sugar feel.

This is a decent yet unremarkable pilsner. The label calls this an Italian-style pilsner.

Poured at 48 °F; no canning date info seen on the can.

 

Listed as an Italian Pilsner, the beer is clear golden with a sustained white cap. Aroma of wet grain and dry grass, with an mixed herbal, mid-summer cut grass bitterness. Taste has a slight honey aspect before falling in line with the nose. Light and clean, this is a nice option for an easy drinker with a little character.
