Duchessa, our spelt beer, is a typical product from our territory. Inspired by traditional Belgian Saisons, it persuadues you with its pleasentness and fresh elegance. The creamy and abundant head releases fruity (banana, pineapple, tropical fruit) and floral aromas which are animated by a slight pepperiness. Its fine carbonation, slight acidity and moderate hop profile make for a fresh beer that is never overpowering and is pleasant from start to finish.

Bottle from Barrique Odijk, large sample. Slight hazy yellow to golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of grainy malt, slight spicy notes, bit flowery hops. Soft bitter in taste, smooth. Feels in between a pilsener/lager and a belgian blonde/saison. Easy drinker, good with pizza.

Draught at Bir & Fud, Rome. Hazy, golden colour with a fluffy, white head. Fruity aroma with pale malts, yeasts, spices and citrus fruits. Taste is light bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and a lively carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with spices and yeasts. Uncomplicated, refreshing Saison.

Bottled at the Craft Beer Festival in Zagreb. Golden body with a small white head. Honeyish aroma, grainy, quite simple but lovely. The same goes on into the soft taste, honey, grainy notes, quite vague bitterness, almost none, with the soft, velvety mouthfeel disappearing into almost nowhere. Tasty stuff, though not exactly my style.

Dark golden/light orange, cloudy, persistent head. Aroma is very sweet, slight herbal note, banana. Taste is heavily sweet, reminds of wheat beers, maybe some herbal and lemon notes, not vivid though. Very bad chewy mouthfeel leaves an unpleasant sweet and musty feel on the palate. Goes down decently easy, gets worse as it warms.

11.1 oz (33cl)Bottle from Boise Co-op. Poured into Duvel tulip, lazy carbonation, suspended particulates, thickish body. Deep golden cloudy pour, smallest of heads. Floral herbal aroma, some cheese, some mustiness. Graininess in the taste, close to a witbier, but I think it is the alternate grain (spelt) which is driving this beer’s character. I’ve had this style before in Germany. spelt is an ancient food grain.
