L’impatto aromatico garantito dall’abbondante luppolatura, che proviene da celebri e selezionate varietà nobili del sud della Germania e dalla Pacific West Coast americana, fa sicuramente da padrone in questa specialità, ispirata allo stile forse più popolare nel panorama della birra artigianale. La gradazione alcolica medio-alta non ne compromette la beva, per garantire un I.P.A. calda ed avvongente ma al contempo facile ed appagante.

On tap at the source in Forni di Sopra (Italy). Bright clear orange pour, tick and creamy foam with extra retention. Nose: silky fruity, jam, floral, tropical a bit. Really a nice bouquet. Mouth: clean, very clear. Body has a nice onion-like sensation which I admire a lot. Chewy and bodied although super easy-to-drink. Bitterness does not disturb, it is even a bit fruity. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From tap at Moeder Lambic, a gift from the owner, thanks! Italian IPA with coarse, yellowish white, irregular but stable head over a misty orange blonde beer with amber hue. Aroma of orange peel, peach, vanilla, fresh pineapple, white bread, chamomille and other field flowers, white grape peel, rosewater and banana. Fruity taste, peach, pineapple and orange peel ’citrusness’, very light sourish touch, medium carbo, sweet and honeyish maltiness, elegant and light, soft bitter hoppy finish, very floral and citrussy, more aromatic than deeply bittering, with subtle malt and yeastiness piercing through. Very pleasant and well-made IPA, one of the more soft, aromatic ones, probably intended as an English style example rather than an American style one.

Bottle shared at the chriso post-GBBF tasting 2014 - London. Pours unclear amber with a light, frothy white head. Tasty stuff, with notes of melon, grainy bread, orange. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish with further grains, orange rind, bread. OK hop expression. Good overall.

Lightly hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry with a good fine crispness. Light malts, little thin dry creamy sweetness. Hops bring a little fresh orange and lesser pith. Light dry finish. Easy going and drinkable despite it’s dryness.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s post GBBF minidig, 16/08/14. Golden amber with moderate off white spotting and edgework. Nose is citric peel, bitter orange, light floral notes, spice, faint grapefruit. Taste comprises orange pith, light pine coating, bitter tropical notes, light spice. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. So so IPA, low end of the spectrum, disappointing as their APA was great!
