08/09/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (500ml bottle). Ambrata chiara, lievemente torbida, schiuma bianco sporca, abbondante e persistente. Aroma indecifrabile, poco intenso e con qualche imperfezione. Malto, caramello, una nota metallica, sentori di acqua saponata. Il luppolo fatica a venir fuori. In bocca è assolutamente anonima, acquosa, insipida, con un corpo modesto. Una piccola delusione, dato che di questo birrificio ho apprezzato moltissimo la porter.

Pours amber with a large lasting head.Lots of juicy fruity hops on the nose, mostly lighter fruits like apples, grapes, pears and grapefruit. Underneath is loads of sweet malt with honey and toasty characters.Malt dominates the flavours as well with toasty overtones. The hops here are straight resin and a little grapefruit. Unfortunately there’s a slight metallic character in the short finish.Carbonation is way too high, only exacerbating the very dry finish. Watery body.

From a 500ml bottle on 21/12/2010. Pours golden, with just a tiny bit of sediment evident. Has a pleasant and quite strong aroma of floral and citrus hops, and a little honey. Starts off with sweet fruit (apricots), along with some biscuity malt and some honey. Has a very solid and quite dry hop finish, with a lingering grapefruit like aftertaste. A very nice APA, and impressive for something which is only 4.5%. Classy packaging too.
