G. Menabrea E Figli
After what seemed like the worlds longest hike through the Cinque Terre I encountered G. Menabrea E Figli (4.8% abv) at a small canteena on a train station platform! I was in desperate need for some rehydration so basically this beer went down a treat. The beer is a pale pilsner that is quite bitter for a thin bodied beer. According to the bottle "G. Meabrea E Figli is a “birra blonde” brewed in Biella, Italy since 1847, and so it is enjoying its 150th anniversary!" Well someone at the brewery can't add up! To sum this beer up, a truly random beer, that was a truly random find. WebsiteLabels: Italy, Lager, Monterosso, Pilsner

Either someone in the brewery can't count or you drank and 11 year old beer. Or a combination of the two!
I had the beer too in Milan. It is very good. I found it for 1.49 euro at the supermarket for 660ml. I would buy it again over a Heineken.
I just popped a bottle here in Winnipeg.
I'd say this one's not a bad beer .... I'd buy another bottle or two to share with friends.
3 out of 5 overall .... I do like the aroma of malts and hop... it's the sugar in the aftertaste that brings it down.
