On tap @ Terra Madre, Salone del Gusto, Torino 2018. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di aspetto opalescente e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è fine. Il colore è giallo dorato torbido. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è non invadente. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frumento, cereali, agrumi e mela verde.

Draft from Birrabus 30, in Ravenna, Italy. Pours pretty hazy, orangey gold, with moderate white foam, fine. Aroma is grainy, with a nice hint of citrus. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet, with a bit of balancing bitterness. Finish is average.

0.75l, thanks Erna and Natko! Clear golden body with mild floaties. Flowery, very flowery aroma, herbal, bit dry. Soft taste, medium body, ending dry. Again, very much flowery, going actually towards Styrian Wolf, if not Sorachi territory, quite interesting. Tasty. Ends a bit dry, no bitterness.

Cask. Pours rather clear blonde , small but very stable white head, consisting of very small bubbles, which is always a good thing. Very high amount of lacing. Smell is malty, crispy, mild corn features, very mild honey notes. No noticable hops or yeast. Taste is big on aroma (didnt see that comming ) with fruityness in the likes of mandarin, peach, mildly grassy. not much bitterness is to be perceived. Maltyness is far less than what the scent would give. Some white bread trough the malts, but in a very distant level. No yeasty taste, no noticable alcohol, no errors. I would prefer it being carbonated, but for what the beer is trying to do, it does it pretty well.

(Thx! for sharing!) Sampled draft @ Italian BEER Week-End #5. Pale hazy citrus, lacing white head. Nose makes me a think a bit more of a pale lager than a kolsch, it is quite better than the average pale lager, there is quite a bit of hop, vegetable notes are a bit covered by some sweetness. Taste is luckily much better, vegetable note is barely there, low grain, hay, it is quite hoppy, European hops, flowers, light grass, sweet flowers, lightly doughy,… Thicker lager body, lingering grass finish. Drinks quite well, hops are enjoyable, smell is not optimal but it is pretty fun to drink. Good hops, dry, malty. Debatable how on style this is but it is quite enjoyable. Neat.

Sampled at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear, pale yellow with a tight, white cream head. Nice stuff, with mellow lemony citrus, slight pale biscuity sweetness, a small-sized dose of floral hops. Light bodied with fine carbonation and creamy texture. Balanced finish with pleasant, mild dry biscuits. Good kolsch.
