This top-fermented double-malt red ale is made with several different varieties of spring two-row barley malt (Pilsner, Aromatic, Melanoidin, Wheat) and fourteen types of hops among which Perle (Germany), Tradition (Germany), Saaz (Czech Republic), East Kent Golding (England) e Willamette (USA). With its unmistakable flavor, splendid color tinged with reflections of copper and ruby red and compact head of white foam, this is a beer rich in spicy flavors, warmly caressing the palate and conquering it with a round and persistent finish, making it a product for the most demanding connoisseurs. This is why Viola is not a beer like so many others, but is unique and easily recognizable. Particularly suitable during meals with meat first courses, as a fine accompaniment for red meats and game, and perfect with mature cheeses and strongly aromatic salami.
Slight traces of yeast are an indication of the excellence, authenticity and craftsman quality of this product, which for its best conservation must be kept in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Bottle, 0.355l. Cloudy amber pour, one finger creamy beige head, long lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Sweet and malty on the nose, molasses, sugar, caramel malt. Ripe fruits in the background.

Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, pretty lightweight, expected more thickness to it. Somewhat watery. Mostly sweet taste with mild bitter notes in the background. Aroma of caramel malt, bread, molasses, brown sugar. Ripe fruits, light herbal notes, woody. Mild alcohol notes in the background. Medium lasting finish, sweet, light boozy, slightly dry.

Surprisingly light for the ABV, would be better with slightly fuller body. Decent nonetheless.
