Toccadibò is a golden coloured beer with a creamy head which resembles a golden strong ale. The aroma is clean and dry and quite alcoholic but also has hints of sumptuous peach and apricot balanced with aromatic notes of hops with a hint of chives.
On the palate the initial sensation of warming is well contrasted by a dryness with a spiced, clean sharp after-taste which, despite the alcohol strength, immediately tempts us to drink a second glass. The attentive connoisseur will recognise an unusual but very pleasant note of amaretto.
As a table beer Toccadibò goes perfectly with white meat but just as well with richer dishes of game or fully matured cheeses. It is also irresistible with syrupy fruit tarts or almond macaroons.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a small white head. Aroma is primarily peach with an underlying yeast/spice note. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is sweet light stone fruit with yeast/spice. Grassy hops offset the sugar. Definitely balanced, but toss the doubts towards bitter. It’s quite interesting.

750ml bottle @ AL REFETTORIO, Sardinia. Hazy orange body with a small, dense, white head. Light malty aroma with some lemon. Flavor is refreshing, light malty, some orange fruitiness, yeast, spices, a sharp bitterness and hint of alcohol. Very nice, refreshing and tasty in a hot summer day, not particular complex but tru to its style. Enjoyed this a lot after a week with mostly boring lagers.
