Taste comprises white peppery spice, soured citric sherbets, lemon rind, white grapes, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Quite a tangy Wit but fine for the style.

Bottle with a great Pizza in Modica, Sicily. Rating found on a loose piece of paper in a notebook! Very hazy gold beerm big pale cream colour head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Fresh pale malts, touch of malt cream. Reasonable hops - marmalade orange, lesser tangerine. Minerals. Finishes crisp with a reasonable bitterness. Nice beer, clean, well balanced and refreshing.

Bottle from Condorelli, Agrigento; L29262, bb 30/06/14
Cloudy brown color, with large head, loud cap explosion (no gushing though), and floaters. Aroma of white sugar, and light wine, not fruity/perfumy as expected. The mouthfeel is too much carbonated, rather dry, with not much malt or zibibbo flavor, evident yeast instead, and light liquorice. Also the alcohol is clearly present (probably higher than 8.5%).
I suspect that it refermented in the bottle and the final result is no longer what was in the brewer’s plans.
