Il modo più difficile per andare a canestro! Dopo aver impostato i malti base in modo da dare buon supporto a questa birra artigianale pur restando sullo sfondo, abbiamo lanciato quantità enormi di luppoli americani per fare canestro nel modo più spettacolare. Il risultato è questa luppolosissima Imperial IPA: corposamente amara, di un ambrato intenso e di assoluta bevibilità.

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano sentori di miele, frutta secca, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo e arancia amara.

Süffiger, intensiv hopfiger Beginn. Weiche Herbe, cremig, karamellig ohne zu süß zu sein. Etwas getreidig, stark hopfig bleibend, langer Abgang. 10/11/12/11//11

Bottle at MC Zurich. Pours cloudy amber. Aroma is lots of pine, rather old hops. Body is medium, piney, sticky, with a low lively carbonation. Sweet old palate. Okay.

Bottle at Birrivico, Como, L15076, bb 10/2016
Amber color, dull, hazy, with small head. The aroma has some orange hops and a touch of skunk. Strong body, but the chewy caramel and moderate sweetness identify this as old style IIPA; orangey hops on the final, a bit resiny.
Not a bad beer, but it’s rather sticky, and cloying, so the larger bottle format (500ml) seems so wrong.

50cl bottle I picked up at Il Pretesto. Pours a murky amber with some creamy, white head. Nose has sturdy malt, orange/grapefruit/lemon, candy, yeast, dried pine needle. Flavor is huge with pine, soap, citrus, brown malts, honey. Full bodied, sticky finish. Old school American DIPA.

500ml bottle at home courtesy of Saeglopur, many thanks. BB 02/2016. amber hazy color, small off-white head. nice smell of pines, some sweetness, mango, grapefruit, oranges, grass, light glueish. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of pines, herbs, lightly fruity, citric, oranges, grapefruit, some grass, light spices, some sweetness. finishes with a nice herbal and citric bitterness. feels a bit heavy but nice balance with the sweetness being very unobtrusive. the malt backbone is obvious but works great with the bitterness. love it, finishes just a tad too zesty for me.
