Hand-pulled in Open Baladin, Rome on 10th Dec 2013. Well I had to try an Italian Bitter on cask didn’t I? I’d already had an Italian Saison and Gose (to name but two brews). Anyway, this poured a nice deep amber and had a white crown on top. Malty front, middle and back: the molasses barely being held back by whatever hops were used. Treacle flavoured and rather sweet as a consequence, I liked it. Of course after the Gose anything was going to taste sweet, but this is a pretty malty molasses majoring beer even if you’ve just had a bag of sweets. I like sweeter brews, this one was a little one sided and unbalanced, but I still enjoyed it, so much so the wife insisted we left to sight see again before I could order another.

From tap at Bir and Fud. Pours hazy deep orange. Light fruity hops aroma. Flavour is light fruity with a mild peach note and a sweer malt base. Goes into a decent bitterness.

Dark amber, thick and generous head, yoghurt-like. Light hop aroma. Smooth, some sweetness, balanced soon by a correct bitterness, raising in a stronger palate. Actually the one that I liked most visiting this brewery.
