Vi befinner oss omtrent midt i løypa på Mi2 denne februarkvelden, og seremonimester Melberg har nettopp annonsert en serie på 10 ulike flaskeøl fra et (for oss nytt) italiensk bryggeri, alt på elegante 0,33 flasker. Det skulle nokså raskt vise seg at i enkelte av tilfellene var designet det eneste å glede seg over. Denne var nummer tre i rekken: nesten helt klar rødgylden med kort skum. Bringebær, sukkertøy, gjær og hint av humle. Iflg etiketten skal dette være en imperial red ale, noe den definitivt ikke er. Setting new standards in mediocrity.

Tap at Gar Eden. Fruity, pear and yeasty aroma. Taste is similar, pear again, yeasty and malty, not so bitter. Belgian feel in its sweet yeastiness. Nutty. Quite nice. Maybe this is the end of the keg as it's pretty cloudy.

Cloudy medium amber colour, small frothy off-white head, mostly diminishing, light lacing. Aroma toasted malts, toffee, butter scotch, honey, biscuit, light apricot. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, caramel, toffee, fruity, some biscuit. Sweetbitter aftertaste, sticky sugar, bit boozy, light spicy touch. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation, unbalanced impression, too sweet for a bitter but otherwise a nice brew.
