0.5 l bottle thanks to Ogi who brought it from Italy, shared with Marko and him. Unclear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy, floral and perfumy at first, caramely right after with notes of cardboard, carrot and earthy notes. Smooth, creamy, thin, soft to moderate carbonation. Flavour is sweet cooked carrot, earthy and herbal flavour. Heavy signs of oxidation, cardboard and astringency. Light dry finish.

500ml bottle, thx Ogi for bringing it from Italy and sharing with Hrabren and me! Lightly hazy deeper amber-golden body, off-white head. Terribly oxidized aroma, fruity, floral, but immensely dusty and stale, bit caramelly, in combination vegetal. Same, identical taste, dusty, vegetal, carroty, some cakey rose water touches, not much bitterness, what little there is is rough. This is 5 -6 months before it's expiry date, it feels like 5-6 years. What did those people in Udine do with it? Keep on the roof of the store in the sun?

A rich, clear copper with a light tan head. Toasted malts, wet dough, a bit of that brewhouse wort influence, light fruits, medium sweetness. Medium bodied. Light bitterness but it does exist. Finish has more of that wort profile. It’s fine but feels a bit underdeveloped.

Canned at 4.5% ABV. An orange coloured, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness, but it's almost over riped, grapefruit, banana. Taste has the same over riped problems as in the aroma, grapefruit, some bitterness. Medium bodied. Unfortunately, the fruitness is too over riped, it reduces the freshness.
