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.

Tap at Ranzani 13, Bologna, Italy. Pours dark amber, fairly hazy, with very fine brownish foam, moderate. Aroma is malty and caramel, alcoholic. Body is average, like carbonation, but with a strong sweet and alcoholic sensation right after drinking. Taste is pretty sweet. Final is too, as mentioned, as the chocolate somehow comes out.

Würzig, malzig-süffig und nicht zu trocken

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

In der Nase malzig, am Gaumen gehts in Richtung Single Hop IPA

Draught at Ranzani 13: clear gold with white head. Light floral and grain. Clear and crisp. Easy to drink. Not heavy on many of the heller bock tastes.
