Ahh children... You raise them, nurture them, give them the benefit of your knowledge, (or lack there of) send them out into the world to find their way. When they do find their way back hopefully they will bring back knowledge, experience and good beer. Well, we raised our kid well. On a recent whirl-wind trip of Italy my freshly (high school) graduated daughter knew to forgo the Gondolier T-shirt and Colosseum paper weights, and bring back the ol' man Venetian suds.Pedavena poured a clear yellow gold color with a firm two fingers of thick foam. The nose was light and grassy, with just a hint of sweet malts. Maybe some mild yeast undertones as well. The taste started with dry biscuit notes with a lite fruitiness. Sharp grassy hops dominate the rest of the way finishing slightly dry. 5.0% abv with high/moderate carbonation. It was OK... I've never had a stellar Italian beer so my expectations for Pedavena weren't too high. But the kid did alright. Ollie my cat seemed to like it, gave it two paws up! Wadaya want, he's a wine drinker...

Sounds very nice. My son knows my husband and I like special ales and being online alot he showed me a website The Drink Shop which is great for beers and ales even if it is a lot less galmourous than a beer bought back from Italy
Very nice. I hope she enjoyed Italy. And of course, job well done for bringing back a beer.
The Drink Shop has some very nice stuff. Too bad they don't deliver to the U.S.
let me leave my hearty and warm thanks to you for this awesome piece of pronouncement. Yeah, we love our kid, we nurture them, we teach them and finally send them into the unknown world to be self-learner with new and own experienced knowledge. The startup you focused was really touching and recalling our childhood. I appreciate your thoughts regarding the benefits of H.S. education and wine experience. In fact, I was browsing for the purpose of grabbing some useful points on how to become a professional sommelier. But the Italy trip you shared with us was really interesting and educative. Such An interesting read always make me feel better.
