Il nome di questa Alt Bier onora uno dei carnevali più trasgressivi d’Europa: il Carnevale delle Zitelle, quando Düsseldorf si ferma per tre giorni. Oltrepassando il Reno, abbiamo continuato a ricercare nel mondo delle alte fermentazioni tedesche. La Zitella ha un colore ambrato brillante e all’olfatto si sente tutta la dolcezza dei malti, caratterizzata da sfumature tostate e lievi sentori floreali che emergono dal lievito utilizzato e i processi di fermentazione. In bocca è un Alt Bier leggera, corpo medio e molto equilibrata. Anche lei chiude con un soffice amaro donato dai luppoli nobili tedeschi.

Bottle from JulienHuxley, thanks! Golden color. Malty, floral notes and a hint of caramel in the aroma and flavor. Hints of pear and plums. Very low on carbon.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Crystal clear red - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, smooth and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. The malts have a very light roast character and a touch of unsweet dark chocolate. Light malt cream and caramel. Trace of wood. Well buried esters. Hops start with mildly spicy pine and move through a nice juicy orange, fresh peel and marmalade. A nice touchnof cherry before a light finish. Nicely done. A reasonably well hopped alt with lots going on. Might furrow brows in Dusseldorf but my brow is unlined.

On tap at Hoppy Days. Clear light-amber colour, thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, some leafy hops, nuts. Flavour is sweet, but not very malty, nutty, caramel, toast, dry hoppy bitter finish. Light-bodied, watery. Not great.
