First time I've ever had a beer out of my Campari negroni glass. Has that brownish-orange negroni colour, but of course also a lot more head. The aroma is gently herbal, but nowhere near as bright on the orange or bitters as a negroni. It's actually malt forward and mostly on the sweet side, which just sort of confuses me. Lacks a distinct negroni character, which to be honest is one of the most beer-compatible cocktails imaginable. I mean, I'd love an Oud Beersel negroni beer, the flavours are that symbiotic. But this... to me it misses because it's neither bitter nor explosively aromatic as I prefer my negronis to be. This feels like they half-assed it, on a beer that really only works when you go all-in. Field House, take this concept, but put it in a foeder, brett c, jack up the botanicals, get some chinotto in there, and get back to me.
