Lo “Zero” è il meridiano di riferimento, che passa da Greenwich, sulle colline prospicienti Londra. Ambrata dai riflessi ramati, presenta al naso le note fruttate tipiche dei lieviti di stampo inglese. In bocca si avvertono il caramello, la frutta secca e il toffee, sapientemente bilanciati dalla luppolatura che regala un finale leggermente amaricante. Ottima come semplice bevuta, si abbina perfettamente a formaggi freschi, salumi, risotti, verdure grigliate e carni bianche arrosto.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per orzo e zucchero caramellato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il piano sottostante si presenta opalescente e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano indizi di caramello, miele, cereali, frutta secca, erba e pane tostato.

On tap at de cervesia Lucca. A nice clear amber bitter. Lots of caramel malt in this one creates a nice and rich cask bitter, very easy to drink and enjoyable.

Draft @ Brassigaume ’13. Orangée, col crémeux beige. Arôme est houblonné, citronné, malté et caramel, fruité moyen, fleuri léger. Palais est légèrement houblonné, malt moyen sur une note épicée. Malt garde ce côté farineux, pain le tout relevé par un malt pâle et caramel. Effervescence moyenne sur des pointes de citronné. Le tout garde ce caractère bien belge qui fait la signature de Forte. Houblons restent dans un style euro - noble. Se termine sur une note levure accompagnée de ce houblonné citronné.

15 cl. draft @ Brassigaume 2013. Hazy dark amber with a white head. Nose is sweet caramel, toffee, hoppy, sweet malts, toffee, jammy. Taste is sweet malts, caramel, toffee, jam, syrupy coupled with some slightly floral & fruity hops. Syrupy, thick. Not bad, liked it more than the score on RB would suggest prior.

2012-11-16, cask at Pazzeria, Milan, 6-4-7-4-15=36
Cloudy amber color, generous head. The aroma is a bit yeasty. Good and soft malt flavor, soft body, with correct bitterness, Some yeast, light orange peel.
Very good cask ale, truly British.

2012-08-20, bottle courtesy of Jesper; batch L12018 11/12, 5-4-6-3-12=30
Cloudy amber color; generous head. The aroma is quite yeasty. Sweetish malt flavor, with low bitterness, and too much yeast.
It should be filtered better.
