In many sports the FREERIDE represents pure fun, a sense of freedom, spiritual communion with nature and open spaces: in a word, unconditional joy. Hops are the absolute protagonists of this beer, which is our recurring dream, addiction and care. Our lust for hops will find redemption from the worries whenever we can bring our lips closer to this beer. Pale orange colour, citrus and floral scents very eye-catching. Hops are the absolute protagonist of this beer, which has aromas of mango, tropical fruit, grapefruit, bitter orange and has balsamic nuances.

330ml bottle. Pours a murky orange-gold with tiny particles floating around and a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Aroma of musty yeast, brett, caramel malt, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, floral and pine. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, caramel, peach, bread, generic citrus, floral and pine with a light bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Ok but a little off-style. Very saison-like.

4/X/17 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 1/IX/18 (2017-1758) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear light orange beer, huge creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lovely smell, lots of pineapple, fruity, grapefruit. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, grapefruit, bit smoky, pretty fruity, bitter, nice stuff. Aftertaste: nice fruity notes, slightly smoky (is this the del Ducato yeast signature? It was also in their other beer, the Californian Common one), bit sourish, some grapefruit.
