This beer is a fairly standard lager. Crisp and clean with a light yellow color. It should obviously pair well with Italian dishes like pasta, veal, and pizza.

Dennis and I both rated this a solid three bottle caps. You can hear our commentary on the 2OGDB podcast starting at the 41-minute mark. CHEERS!
