Bottle. Not the best Pale Ale I’ve had. Yellow in color. Good head. Taste was like hay, some light citrus. Aroma was weak with a slight straw and citrus smell.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va su cioccolato, affumicato e orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno ha una discreta resistenza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è fine. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è elevata e la costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo e pulito. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma riporta sentori di miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, luppolo e resina.

(Bottle) Clear amber with slight shirt-lived white head. Pleasant aroma if citrus, pine and toffee. Medium body with slight stickiness and good carbonation. Taste like the aroma: caramel toffee with pine and citrus, plus some peppery spice and some tasty but gentle bitterness in the finish. Pleasant beer.
