With its lightly copper-tinted foam and amber red color, the character of this Collesi Rossa Craft Beer is unmistakable. Obtained from select malts and hops, unpasteurized and naturally bottle conditioned, Collesi Rossa Craft Beer distinguishes itself with the intense aromas of caramel, dark spices, malt and toasted hazel nuts. Its prolonged aromatic persistence combines a sweet taste enriched with mineral notes.

Hazy dull reddish amber. Aroma is a bit yeasty. Fizzy body, with hints of fruit and a soft brown sugar accent. Ok beer, but nothing terribly special. I find it more bland than anything else.

OK for the record, I am using the same rating for three of their beers. The diference being, one was dark red, one was amber and one was dark brown. Beautiful bottle, too bad points could not be awarded for packaging these guys would fair much better. Nose has no noticable hop character and a very strange house yeast, almost like they added candy sugar, but not as sweet. The Rossa was by far the most carbonated of the bunch. A touch of cherries and earthiness, but again no real hop prescene to balance thngs out. Quick fading finish. The alcohol is hidden very welll, as is any real character. Not sure what to make of this other than we had a tasting with six people and not one bottle was emptied by the end of the tasting, but no one was really offended.
