Nero's Apecchio Red Ale

   
     "Imported Italian Craft Ale".  This beer was pretty cheap; worth the price just for the bottle. Huge pop when opened.  About of finger worth of fizzy head drained quick over a hazy orange color.  Very sweet caramel aroma.  Tons of crystal malt shining through.  Getting a bit of toast and pleasant esters as well.  Slightly herbal. 
   Hits the tongue a little dry.  Some sharp toffee sneaks in and is washed away with some berry esters.  Finishes slightly bitter and with a decent bit of hop flavor, mostly spice. Quite lively.  A subtle caramel sweetness linger for a bit.  Body a bit on the lighter side though masked with a strong carbonation.
     This beer really didn't have very strong reviews when I was looked it up.  It's nothing stellar, but it's far from a bad beer.
