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.

Hopfelia Foglie D’erra Rated on June 7th, 2014. Pours with a massive head, stays for long. Leaves nice lacing. Color is amber. Aroma is lighter, not too overpowering, hoppy but easygoing. Not much malt in the base. Taste is nice, delicate and subtle. Bitterness is there, body is lighter, good drinkability. Citrus character. Good water has been used for brewing. Leaves behind some nice lingering bitterness. Good beer, 7% strong session IPA - if I may say so.

Sampled from bottle @ ChrisO after GBBF day 3. Clear dark orange color, average to medium sized off-white head. Aroma is quite hoppy, but it also has some dishwasher water in it. Taste lightly malts, quite hoppy, quite bitter, some fruit peel. Lingering fruit peel bitterness. Decent body and carbonation. Decent.

Some what hazy golden brown color. Very clean hoppy nose with a touch of mineral character. The mouth is clean, moderately hoppy, well made beer. Very clean, very drinkable. Not a ton of depth, but very enjoyable.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como; batch 18/13, bottled 16.06.2013
Cloudy amber color with generous head. It has a strong spicy yeast character that overwhelms the strong hopping; good body strength. Some late sweetness.
Farmhouse ale.

Draught Small white head over veiled yellow-orange beer. Citrussy hops, bit of grains, hints at exotic fruit as passionfruit, rainwater. Bitter flavour, hopoils, wholemeal bread, citrus. Light body, quite slick, even a bit oily. All Foglie d’Erba beers seem to be a tad similar, whatever the style. Doesn’t mean they’re bad...

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Italian Beerfest ’13. Cuivrée-orangée, col blanc cassé. Arôme est agréablement fruité tirant sur un somptueux côté mangue, note de pêche et un bouquet citronné rappelant les agrumes, mais le tout restant assez subtile sans vraiment prendre le dessus. Palais reste fleuri et fruité pour un houblonnage modéré avec un attrait direct pour des houblons nobles est-européens. Malts restent subtiles et plus en retrait.

Sampled draft @ CML Italian Beer Festival 2013. Thx! To Sebletitje. Fun label. Appearance reminds me of a faro oddly, same kind of murky amber shade with white bubbles for a head. Nose surprisingly sweet but fruity sweet, quite sweet grapefruit, bubblegum, candy sugar, flowers,… Taste is apricot juice mixed with candy sugar, honey, very fruity, flowers, bubblegum, very light resin, light bitter hay in the finish. Touch watery body. I think that it is safe to say that I have never head an IPA like this before.
