Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il basilico. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido si presenta di consistenza limpida. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza.. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e di durata sufficiente. Il finale è semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di basilico.

If you like basil and have some cuisine to go with it, go for it! It’s a very nicely crafted beer imho, the basil is very intense, especially in the nose. Flavour is also nice, mild with strong basil.

Draft sample @ Fiera della Birra, Cesena ’14. In an ocean of boring look-alike beers that fail to set each other apart from the next or from being a clone of an American comes Genova. While not being the Holy Grail of beers this one was by far the most intriguing and intersting beer of the festival, to love or to hate. That is what Italy needs. Dorée, col fin blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet immense de basilic sur un bouquet feuillu qui domine le tout. Palais est étrange et intriguant à la fois. Le tout est un mélange entre herbes bouillies de basilic et un rappel d’épinards. Amertume houblonnée perce en fin de bouche avec une petite touche de poivre blanc sur la fin. Cette présence est intense et couvre quasi tout le profil malté et amer. 16 for originality.

Appearance: Light golden, clear. Lots of white head. Last bit very hazy. Aroma: Herb overload, basil, some sourness? Taste: More herbs (basil) and slightly sour. Not good. Info: 330ml bottle, 8/10-2013, BB: 29/12-2013

Draught @ Viisi Penniä, Helsinki

Pours hazy yellow with a tiny head. Aroma of strong spicy notes, pesto and hints of citrusy notes. Taste is spicy, lots of basilica, stingy and slightly citrusy with some lager notes. Finish is spicy and citrusy. Quite a spice overload.

(Draught at Oluttupa Viisi Penniä, 20130419) The beer poured pale golden and little bit hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had citricness and pesto. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, fruitiness, pesto and bitterness. Aftertaste had bitterness and acridness. A weird beer and not nice either.

Bottled 330ml (Eataly Genova, BB 12/2012)
Hazy yellow-orange color, good white head. Strong aroma of hemp. Light to medium-bodied. Herbal (basilica, oregano) flavor with light, citrusy fruityness. Too much herbs for my liking. Acidic finish.
