A Pint Half Full

Note:  This is part 5 in a series documenting the countries of Epcot Center and the beers they serve.

We reluctantly left Germany and took the short walk to Italy.  This was prior to our REAL trip to Italy so I had no frame of reference for what to expect.  However, now that I've been to Italy, I can say that Epcot tried to model their version off of Piazza Navona and its wide open space and light stone architecture.

I grabbed a Moretti from the beer stand prior to entering the piazza and watching a weird street performer jump around, speak gibberish, and blow a whistle while doing tricks. Things were getting surreal at this point.


We sat and watched the street performer prance around, do some juggling, use some net, and blow his whistle.  Arriving at the edge of boredom, we found a seat close to the fountain of Triton/Poseidon, picked up some italian ice and chilled out on a hot day.


The Moretti, as I've outlined in my previous entry on Italy, is a light lager that was pretty weak in contast to Germany's Spaten Optimator.  It's a little sweet with a dry hop aftertaste.  Also the portion of beer served was tiny so the experience in Italy was not all that great.
