Easy drinking pale lager. Had a glass at a cafe up at Lago di Bàrcis in northeastern Italy so it was more about the vibe and scenery than the beer. Not bad for an Italian beer.

Poured from a brown 11.2 oz. bottle. Has a dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is malty and sweet. Taste is sweet, malts, grains, very easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

This review is from memory, circa 2002 in the place of origin. It was a popular local beer in the far NW area of Italy, and I found it very good. Since then it changed ownership; the following (somewhat self-referential) paragraph is pasted off Wikipedia:
<Birra Moretti was an Italian brewing company, founded in Udine in 1859 by Luigi Moretti. In 1996 the company was acquired by Heineken International. The brewing plant in Udine was sold to the newly formed Birra Castello S.p.A.; Moretti is now a brand of Heineken>.
So what you are drinking now is not necessarily the same beer as back then, could be standard Heineken relabeled.
Assuming it stayed the same, it's a good light beer for summer days.
