Top-fermented, amber-coloured beer with a lot of character.

The bouquet features pink pepper, cedar wood and grapefruit hints.

To the mouthfeel the taste is caramelised and quickly moves towards resinous and herbaceous hints that remind of gentian root and genepy.

Lattina. Al naso arrivano impressioni di fruttato e di speziato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza cristallina. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, amaretto, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, pompelmo, spezie, pepe e zenzero.

Hand pumped at Ranzani 13, Bologna, Italy. Pours an elegant amber, transparent, with stable, very fine white foam. Aroma is earthy, a little herbaceous and malty. Body is average, with close to no carbonation. Teste is pretty bitter compared to a traditional a bitter. Final is still too bitter, in my view.

Ordentlich schaumig. Hier steht nicht nur bitter drauf, anders als bei vielem von der Insel.
