Birra Italiana

I had some Italian beer today.  It's new to Chicago.  It's not bad.  It is G.Menabrea e Figli Birra Ambrata -- I don't know what most of that means, but the last two words mean AMBER BEER.  

It's okay.  I didn't love it.  It's the sort of beer you could suddenly have drunken four of and not really notice.  It's super malty.  I would describe the flavor as Moretti La Rossa Light.  Malty, light caramel color, thin mouthfeel, not a lot going on.  But, not terrible.  

So, if you're looking for an expensive import without very much flavor, this might be the way to go for you.  No, really, I do know people who don't like too much flavor!  It's brewed by Birra Menabrea.  If I had a choice between this beer and any Miller product, I would choose this, hands down.
