La Luna Rossa was created with an initial sour beer which underwent 2 years of mixed fermentation (lactic bacteria, brettanomycetes). Then we added cherries for at least 6 months and we blended the new beer with a small part of other beers. La Luna Rossa is an ale that can remember a Kriek or a Flemish Red Ale. It has an extraordinary complexity associated with a strong character. For lovers of this kind of beers it is certainly hard to forget.

Pours a semi-transparent red with pinkish hints that gets a bit hazy on second pour. The thinnest hint of head disappears very quickly. Aroma shows vinegar plus quite strong sour cherries and slight citric notes, with a background of wet wood. It's rather intense but not too deep. Taste is a mix of sweet and sour, both quite strong. Sourness is both lactic and acetic. Notes are of vinegar and sour cherries with light woody hints. Aftertaste is again a mix of sweetness and sourness. Taste is rather intense as the aroma, but again not too deep; feels like vinegar is a bit covering. Medium bodied with the slightest hint of carbonation; smooth mouthfeel. Not very impressed.

Pours hazy deep dark orange/red, almost brown with a white medium head. Aromas of lots of vinegar, cherries, sugar-like notes and some yeast. Taste is very sour cherries up front, lots of vinegar and some yeast. Tastes like a sour red.

Hazy mahogany color. Lots of cherries, oak and vinegar. Malty low carbonation, very acidic, but decent depth with strawberries being a bit more pronounced on the palate. Overall I like this.

Pours hazy pink, some white bubbles on the top. Lots of vinegar and balsamico in the nose, some currants, funky and a bit musty. Light peat. Tastes tart, lots of balsamico, finishing with a burnt caramel note. Acidic. Good one from Italy.

Notes acidulées très marquées au nez. Boisé bien présent avec notes de griottes. De couleur brune rougeâtre, elle développe une petite mousse très effervescente qui s’estompe rapidement. Entrée de bouche extrêmement acidulée, vinaigrée, qui envahit l’ensemble du palais. On y dénote néanmoins un beau boisé, des notes de cerises sauvages et un léger fruité. Trop acidulée pour permettre le développement des autres saveurs. Moyen.
