Can. More or less clear deep golden, with a small white head. The aroma is rather malty, caramel and bread, with some pine cones, grass, citrus and a flowery touch. Sort of perfumed, almost Belgian in a way. It's medium bodied and semi sweet, with a gentle bitterness and a very soft carbonation. The flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma, some notes of white sugar kicking in though. Overall, it feels a bit messy, but it's sure drinkable. 230804

Can, 5.5%. Citric aroma, very fruity and quite malty. Cloudy amber colour. Small fizzy head. The flavour is papery and strangely spicy at first, and then it turns quite malty. Late and lingering bitterness.

Can. Almost clear burnished gold beer, decent off white head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, fairly sweet, a thin creamy sweetness bordering on milky. The hops seem to present as fairly floral, or maybe the yeast does, seems hops to me and I note these are Italian grown US hops so plenty of room for terroir differences. Smooth and slightly ripe orange, tangerine and mandarin. Soft pine. Whisper of floral grapefruit. Easy drinking Italian Pale Ale with its own character.
