Bottle @Beershoppe (Rome). Ambrata, velata, schiuma bianco sporca media. Al naso tanto luppolo, resina, pompelmo, frutta tropicale ed erbaceo. In bocca si sente bene la segale che dona una certa struttura a una birra molto amara. Forse un po' troppo. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Un po' paracula.

Chestnut brown with a creamy/frothy off-white head and light malt and a touch of pine on the nose. Mouthfeel is chewy, sweet up front with piney hops cutting in and a dry, bittersweet finish

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Reddish brown, slightly hazy with an uneven head. Sweet, resinous aroma with fresh sugared berries and some caramel. Tastes sweet at first, with some spiciness from the rye. Hoppy bitterness in the slightly drying finish. More pine resin in the aftertaste. Thin body, medium carbonation. I love these kinds of beers, and I’m especially crazy about this one.

500ml bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours lightly hazy deep amber - brown with a thick, sturdy yellowy - khaki head. The aroma is great, bright , juicy, zingy, tangy, plenty of citrus, blood orange, pink grapefruit, jammy red fruit, resinous pine, marmalade and brown bread. The taste is firmly dry, pleasing and punchy bitterness which lingers throughout, toasted pine, peppery spice, sappy, resinous, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, blood orange, waxy peel, hearty brown bread and wood with a lingering bitter, spicy finish. Medium body and moderate, supporting carbonation. Lovely stuff. Really like the bitterness. Satisfying.
