Tap at lambrate. Smell is spiced, taste is so too, but more 'fresh' than the belgian equivalents. Way less sticky. Not overcarbonated. Perhaps this makes it 'not truly belgian style' but I prefer this over what does seems to be the general type.

On tap at Bir & Fud. This Christmas ale was a vibrantly clear copper with a foamy head & a dank hoppy aroma. Definitely a different take than most Italian Christmas beers! Med-light bodied with a spritzy carbonation. The taste is bready sweet & bitter but well balanced. Maybe in a similar vein to Sierra Nevada’s Celebration?

Nice golden color with small head. Very hoppy, a little bit of spices from the yeast as well, but that’s not really coming through enough. Still quite nice and better than expected.

Tap at Open Baladin, Roma, 09/02/14. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thinnish off white covering/pond. Nose is dark fruits, herbal twang, bitter orange, spice, earthy, boozey notes, red grapefruit. Taste comprises orange peel, bread dough, earthy, light booze, herbal qualities, tangerine, tangy tropicals, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sweet closure. Quite a sweet number, ABV well disguised making it a fairly easy drinker for almost 9%, though it lacks any great depth for said ABV.
