With his outstanding beers with sapa provided by several varieties of vines in his beloved Sardinia, Nicola Perra was the founder and the forerunner of an all-Italian style that is conquering the world.
His strong innovative talent literally explodes with this BB7, eldest child of a new project, for which he has experienced and applied a novel technique for a beer by adding soft pressing run juice from local aromatic grapes, then made to concentrate by vacuum evaporation at low temperature.
Fresh and mellow citrus, and tropical notes of golden apple, linked to the peculiarities of the grapes used, properly completed by a final dry and slightly bitter, give us a beer "very Beer" of great character and, at the same time, high drinkability. Chapeau!

Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano sentori di sour. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la durata è buona. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con qualche bollicina grande. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul palato si fermano indizi di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia amara, frutta passita, prugna, rabarbaro, ciliegia, vino rosso e sour.

0,75 bottle at Baccusardus in Villasimius (Italy). Orange cloudy bright color, medium white foam pretty regular. Nose: dried berries, wild flowers, hedge smell, canditi, dried candy orange peel. Mouth is very charming, balanced, consistent. Floral white wine, hoppy, grassy bitter finish. Barley's best imo, by far...so far.

Bottle @ LIBF’16. 75cl bottle courtesy of Valerio @ La Tana. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez fruité, léger citronné avec un retro de ’mosto’ de raisin blanc, petit côté s’apparentant à la pomme, grains léger en retrait. Palais est léger, malté pils-cara. Le tout offre une certaine fraicheur forte plaisante de raisin avec un léger fini acerbe peut-être des tanins?
