Keg at the Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell. Amber pour with a white head. Smoke and herb aroma, some fruit in there too. Sweet citrus and burnt wood flavour. Quite a bitter finish.

On tap @La Tana (Rome). Pours amber with a decent white head. Aroma of smoked meat, malt, hops, grass, pine, resin. Flavour is confused, the smoked notes and hops don’t match well at all. Medium body, medium carbonation. This is a very poor revolution...

33cl bottle @ Il Prestesto, Bologna. BB 18-07-2014. Orangée, col blanc fin. Arôme est légèrement houblonné sur de belles notes de fumé. Le tout garde un bouquet moyen houblonné-fruité. Palais est léger et houblonné avec un fumé subtil qui s’immisce. Palais est sec et fruité conservant la base d’une IPA mais avec ce petit ajout fumé au caractère pils - pâle. Le tout garde un léger rappel de tourbe de malt whiskey.
