Drinkability  This one starts off well enough but lost its structure and felt kind of strung out to me in the end.RoyalT, Sep 23, 20042.25/5 rDev -18.2%cam477, Sep 28, 20133.15/5 rDev +14.5%look: 2 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 4Pours an exremely pale straw color with a thin, white head that's waving goodbye.There's not too much going on in the nose; it's lightly skunky, but that fades quickly, lemon, grainy malt. A step up from the big three.A light lemony note in the taste and it's not completely void of hops in the finish. Overall, it's not all bad. Drinkable, refreshing, and a good everyday food beer.brownbeer, Jan 13, 20101/5 rDev -63.6%SkiBum22, Aug 21, 20143.08/5 rDev +12%look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5Tried this with dinner at the Olive Garden restaurants in Okemos, MI. Poured from the bottle into a chilled pint glass.A: Seems much like an American macro. Similar colors, minimal white head that dissipates very quickly to a ring of bubbles before it disappears for good, no lacing to speak of.S: Not much on the nose. Basically just smells like 'beer' with nothing particularly notable.T: I'm being generous in this category because I enjoyed this beverage with dinner and it really cut through the heavy cream sauces that were served with the pasta and helped to make the whole meal more enjoyable. Standing on its own it would probably merit something just a shade lower as the flavors present were relatively week. There's something just a touch sweet at first that quickly fades to water as it finishes very quickly. There's a quick hop bite and **poof** it's all over. Practically no aftertaste or linger.M&D: Mouthfeel was interesting as it seemed to be more than it is when it first hits the tongue, then it quickly gets water. Again, this may be biased because I had it with food, but it really worked for me at the dinner table. Would I purchase it for personal consumption at home? Probably not.SIRIUS2, Feb 19, 20082.08/5 rDev -24.4%look: 3.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue I:Part of the "European Sampler" from SABMiller. A big push in marketing by SABMiller with this brand; many are reporting that this is their answer to Inbev's Stella Artois.Very pale yellow color, strip-filtered clarity with a decent, white fluffy head. Peppery and lemony hop, mild cooked veggies (faint cabbage) and a faint husky grain in the nose. Smooth and crisp with a light body. Bitter herb, cooked veggies and a slight metallic tone to start. Bone-dry palate with a graininess that is borderline astringent. Peppery hop bitterness and more brash grain in the semi-puckering finish.When in Rome ... uh, find some craft beer to drink. This Euro lager has gone from decent to almost undrinkable over the past several years. Our recommendation is to avoid this beer.BeerAdvocate, Nov 13, 20092.5/5 rDev -9.1%SuomiHobbit, Jul 03, 20132.75/5 rDev 0%MikeC144, Apr 09, 20143.25/5 rDev +18.2%mediumrare, Sep 08, 20144.25/5 rDev +54.5%markallmon, Feb 09, 20131.5/5 rDev -45.5%Satyr179, Jan 13, 20132.85/5 rDev +3.6%look: 2 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.512 onz green bottle with freshness date in the back label
Not the best euro pale lager,i have taste but still very good,maybe i would have some with some italian entree.BeerDreadz, Aug 13, 20072.5/5 rDev -9.1%BK2084, Aug 25, 20123.38/5 rDev +22.9%look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5Presentation: 12oz green bottle.

Oh ... and I'm not a big wine drinker, so I always order a beer with my meals. And, I figure if I'm going to eat Italian, I'll drink Italian. Peroni does the job everytime, although it's not something I'd keep in the fridge at home.Todd, Jan 03, 20013.35/5 rDev +21.8%look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 5TYPICAL american "wannabe" of a real euro lager. Average appearence, a bit weak on smell. Light bodied, quite light bodied as a matter of fact.Better than anheiser world select, but still not as good as my champion beer for this type of flavor: BECK. Although they are different styles technicly, this beer is coppied of the style of euro lagers. This is a good beer overall, descent flavor for being light and easy to drink.twi1609372, Aug 18, 20053/5 rDev +9.1%Jpinoniemi, Mar 30, 20143.25/5 rDev +18.2%generallee, Jun 13, 20132.25/5 rDev -18.2%ValpoExpo, Jun 16, 20133/5 rDev +9.1%SmellsofMahagony, Jul 12, 20142.25/5 rDev -18.2%Doomcifer, Aug 01, 20143/5 rDev +9.1%petewheeler, Aug 16, 20143.15/5 rDev +14.5%look: 2 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3Appearance: Quick spritzy white head that dissipates to almost nothing, pale straw and very clear.
Drinkability & Notes: Italian macro brew, good to wash down some macaroni and gravy. On its own its just a plain Euro-lager.Jason, Jan 01, 20032.85/5 rDev +3.6%look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.512 oz green bottle pours a clear, well carbonated, marigold body with two inches of bone white head. The head drops to a film within two minutes and leaves behind some insificant patch lace. Aroma is not quite disgusting, but leaves lots to be desired. Strong aroma of adjunct grain(watered down corn), and a semi-sulfuric hops note. Vague hints of florals and herbs.
Drinkable, and I'm sure this would pair well with an antipasto plate with Italian cheeses. Standing on its own, it's a vey mediocre Euro pale lager.merlin48, Sep 01, 20053.65/5 rDev +32.7%look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4Appearance: light yellow, medium head, medium carbonationSmell: clean wheat, little maltTaste: light wheat and malt-nothing overly complexMouthfeel: light and crisp, very refreshingDrinkability: For the style this is very sessionable. It is somewhat more tasty than others in this category. I have had this before and never thought much of it, but could see myself drinking a six after cutting the grass.tigg924, Mar 27, 2009
