Score

6.80

ABV: 9.0%

IBU: -

Ticks: 20

Nicola Perra, brewer, researcher and innovator, was spurred by the exciting results of his three previous bold experiments in using sapa (cooked grape must) of his local Sardinian vines such as Cannonau, Nasco and Malvasia, to try Vermentino sapa in his latest eagerly awaited creation.
BB Boom is very complex on the nose with floral and white grape notes, typical of Vermentino, along with pink grapefruit, Seville orange and tropical fruits, mango primarily, originating from the unique and expertly blended bouquet of hops. On the palate it is impressively sumptuous with vinous and fruit notes, quince especially, and a strong and persistent bitter finish, which reflects the by now famous Barley trade-mark of easy to drink beers with a high alcohol content. the resulting beer is exceptional and extremely satisfying.

Grape! Fruity, light, no tartness at all. Very soft, refreshing.

0,75 bottle at Baccusardus in Villasimius (Italy). Cloudy amber pour, creamy off-white foam. Nose: raisins, Christmas cookies, pastry, grass, thyme. Mouth is charmingly sweet, softly balanced in its complexity, full bodied, wine a bit, bitter and sharp grassy end. This is another masterpiece from this brewery. Top class!

Bottle sample @ LIBF’17, thanks to the RB-InBev Belgian crew for the share. Orange, dorée, col blanc. Arôme de malt, pâle voire pils/Munich, rétro de fruits fermentés tropical - encore une fois avec un usage de raisin blanc. Palais est malté, fruité assez marqué niveau des raisins, houblonné léger arrive à donner une pointe d’amertume et léger citron avec de fines notes presque tropicales. Petite douceur persistante niveau du raisin. Le tout est assez limite par rapport aux autres versions, ici, un excès de sucré résiduel des raisins sert pour pousser l’alcool à 9%..

clear orange beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, very malty, grains, cow fodder, sugary impression. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, lots of banana peel, grains, bitter hops, sugary, orange peel, some citrus. Aftertaste: banana peel, bit chemical, bitter finish, unpleasant. Not a fan of this one.
