Tuborg Green

In a beer sense I found Rome to be a little disappointing. Its a little bit like Paris where the predominant culture is a wine consuming one and unless you know where to go, its hard to find good beer. From Rome we headed to Monterosso in the Cinque Terre for the last stint of our short vacation. Whilst checking out the worlds smallest Spar supermarket I was a little disappointed to find that the only beer they had in the fridge was Tuborg Green (4.6% abv). Tuborg Green is a light and refreshing pilsner from the Tuborg brewery. The beer itself is clean tasting and very light for a pilsner with not a lot of bittering, so it is not a pilsner true to style, but still a highly refreshing beer none the less. The Tuborg brand and its associated products are owned by Carlsberg and thus are brewed for the mass market and are pretty much mega swill, but Tuborg Green is an exception to this rule.
