At Eurhop festival in Rome-Italy. Golden hazy with a decent white foamy head. The nose recalls the West Coast IPAs. There is the resin, citrus, it is well done. Same the mouth: juicy lemon, fruity. But there is a hole in the middle...a gap from this good beer and the other American west coast excellences. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

BOTTLE 33CL from dcmchew. BB June 2014.
Look: cloudy amber, off-white, creamy head.
Aroma: hops - tart gooseberry, orange notes, with some sweet overtones, biscuit, a bit tannic.
Taste: juicy and thick body, tart slightly puckering fruit like gooseberry or unripe quince, zest, some malt sweetness, pleasant light to moderate puckering bitterness.
Though not so fresh, a rich, juicy and enjoyable beer nevertheless.

[10/20/13] Draught at Eurhop Beer Festival 2013 in Rome. Clear deep golden. Aroma has some floral and citric hops, a bit of fruitiness and a bit of yeast. Flavor has a bit of sweetness, a bit malty, a bit fruity, with a mildly bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. OK.

Bottle - Flowery, mango hops on the nose. Clear copper with a thick rich head. A bit resinous and bitter up front with a long bitter finish. Hops are muted and tastes are a bit lost in the bitterness. Coming all the way from Italy this may be better fresh, but the nose is still pretty good.

(Bottle) Golden amber colour, slightly hazy, with lasting off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with apricots, honey, tropical fruit, marmalade and fresh floral hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of citrus, apricots, pineapple, honey, grapefruit and fresh floral hops in a finish with a generous bitterness. Medium body, with a balanced sweetness. Fresh hops and a rounded malt character makes this quite tasty and well balanced. Very nice.
