Heineken Italia Birra Moretti Baffo d’Oro Pale Lager at 4.8% ABV (€8.00 at Ristorante Venerina, 650 ml, best before 11/16)
Pours clear pale straw with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate patchy lacing. (3/5) Nose is sweet pale malt, doughy yeast, faint grassy hops and honey. (4/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (4/10) Light bodied, off dry crisp finish. (3/5)
Pleasant thirst quencher on a hot day, and yes, it does pair well with Italian food and pizza. Decent enough example of the style, but ultimately pretty boring. (10/20)
My 164th from the 2010 Edition (155th from the 2013 edition), and 174th combining both editions.
