Fresca, lieve, lucente, femminile!, ma di carattere forte e deciso: ti avvolge coi suoi stupendi effluvi floreali, dandoti refrigerio e giovinezza. Il profumo è inebriante, quasi vinoso; in bocca è dissetante, elegantemente maltata. Solo alla fine ti sfiora l’amaro, ma gentile: come un bacio a fior di labbra sul finir della sera. Per mai paghe bevute estive!

Chiara tipo blonde con aggiunta di fiori di sambuco (intensità olfattiva pur nella delicatezza e nella freschezza). Note degustative: miele, floreale, fruttato

GBBF Day 3. Keg. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft sweetish malts, a little creamy sweetness. Floral fruits, floral citrus. Light dry finish. Enough going on here to entertain but needs the volume jacking up.

On tap @Buskers Pub (Rome). Pours unclear yellow with a little white head. Aroma is floral and spiced with some hoppy notes, grassy. Flavour is light sweet with a good bitter end, light sour, delicate but great! Light body, medium carbonation. So nice...

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Dorée sur léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est fruité, fleuri rappelant un peu les fleurs de sureau. Pointe de grains en rétro avec un fleuri-presque herbacé bien prenant et en retrait une subtile note épicée. Palais est fruité, fleuri légèrement épicé. Malt sur profil grains entre sec et terreux. Amertume reste subtile indiquant un houblonnage léger presque noble.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Italian Beer Week-end / Zwanze 2014 CML. Citrus golden, creamy white head. Spices, yeast, bread nose, citrus, light hops. Taste is white bread, lightly cheesy, fruity, spices, yeast, light hops, sweetish. Creamy body. Didn’t get any elderflowers. Decent but not very memorable.

Draught Snowwhite dense head, leaving textbook rings; pale yellow beer with Grünstich. Spicy, dry grains, coriander, allspice, Szechuan pepper (and no doubt elderflower, but not recognized). Dry spicy, grainy (not malty), but very little in the finish - a bit like witbier without the classical spices, or very little. Light to medium bodied, light slickness, feels more carbonated than it looks. A bit... dull, I’m afraid.
