Lattina. Il naso riconosce indizi di fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una schiuma importante, con carbonazione eccessiva. La parte liquida è di aspetto velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione vivace e persistente. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato arrivano sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, spezie, creme caramel e frutta tropicale.

Pours a quite hazy mid-amber, with a not too big but compact head, the slightest off-white. Good enough retention and some lacing. Nicely vivid and fresh aroma, with good malt complexity (biscuity and toffee notes plus a slight caramel hint) followed by quite vivid fruitiness (orange and slight citrus, in the likes of mature/jam-like notes and even a hint of apple). Taste notes follow the aroma closely, with maybe a hint of earthy tea-like bitterness in finish and aftertaste. Excellent sweet/bitter balance, both are moderate and none stands out, just as you should find in a good bitter. Despite a mild character the beer feels rather fresh and vivid. Light bodied with light to medium carbonation, very good drinkability in a simple mouthfeel. A very good example of the style.
