(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.

Bottle from GBBF 2013 and drunk at home. A very aromatic IPA, distinctive, good mouthfeel definitely. It is like putting your face in a bag full of hop flavours. Having spent the morning shovelling Cascades, this does have that authentic hop flavour aroma. Just a delightful drinkable IPA. Not in your face hops, but not lacking in hop character either, bitter on the finish certainly. Enough malts to backbone the hops but never too sweet either. That’s a pretty tremendous IPA I would say.

bardzo dobre i tresciwe chmielne IPa po wlosku. Region w Toskanii slynie z win, ale to nie przeszkadza im w tworzeniu swietnych piw. To aromatyczne i metne IPA jest szalowe. Z cala masa kwiatowych smakow chmielnych. Piana solidna i mocna. Polecam poznanie Toskanii od tej strony piwnej
