Our take on an American style IPA: pale, dry and very aromatic. The explosive hop profile comes from American varieties (among them Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra and Centennial) used at different stages of production that give back a unique bouquet with mango, apricot, peach and citrus overtones.

Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta opalescente. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si affermano segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia amara, mandarino, limone, spezie albicocca, pesca, frutto della passione ed uva spina.

Draught @ Il Birraiuolo, Naples. Pours slightly hazy amber with stable white head. Clear aroma of citrus and fruit, with notes of hops and touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy and grassy flavour with sweetish notes of malt and yeast and touches of fruit. Lingering, intense bitter aftertaste with malty and estery touches. A very nice, rather rough APA. Well-balanced and bitter but not really dry. Good stuff.
