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.

Bottle with a great Pizza in Modica, Sicily. Light haze on this amber beer, big pale cream coloured head. Palate starts crisp but turns softer. Sweetish creamy malts. Small spicy note. Trace of orange hops. Not bad - clean and drinkable but could do with some more oooomph for the style.

Bottle from the ’Botega’ shop next to St Peters, Modica, Sicily. This bottle a good bit stronger than the website description - 5.6%. Cloudy gold beer, small white head. Palate is crispy. light and semi dry. Good carbonation. A little creamy malt with that nice fresh nutty tone you would expect. Nicely balanced tangy orange and dried fruits. Finishes sry and crisp with a little yeast. Decent, very fresh tasting and very drinkable.

Bottle from the ’Botega’ shop next to St Peters, Modica, Sicily. Opaque black brown beer. Small tan head. Palate is quite light and a little crispy. Tangy dark malt, no bitterness but a hint of roast. The Carob provides a pronounced unsweet chocolate backdrop. Riding alongside is a nice a fruity vibe. Finishes semi dry with a dark malt tang and unsweet chocolate aftertaste. Nicely put together - it’s dark and quite rich but easy drinking.
