Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear amber with small white top. Bready aroma with flora, spice and stone fruity noted hops. Taste has that fruitiness but more notable is how spicy and bitter the hop profile is. Slight toastiness to the bready like malts as well. Quite a bold gold it must be told. I like it.

50cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours amber gold, fairly transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is toffee, caramel, a little earthy. Body and carbonation are average. Still, a nice mouthful. Taste is aggressively bitter. Final, though, is average in length.

Rocky white head on a slowly carbonating clear amber coloured body. Pine & zesty citrus aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & cloying. Pine, citrus, pithy & English hop tastes with a bitter finish. Good one.
