Draft @ Harvest Pub, Bologna. Dorée, paille, col épais blanc, crémeux tenace. Arôme est fruité-agrumes, léger grains avec une petite douceur résiduelle. Belle notes d’agrumes sur un léger fleuri. Palais est citronné avec un côté Simcoe, Amarillo, ce dernier arrive surtout en fin de bouche. Le tout reste sec avec une belle présence de malt de froment ajoutant une petite épaisseur en bouche. Simple et facile à boire.

Draft @ Green River, Bologna. Dorée-orangée, col blanc cassé tenace. Arôme est houblonné sur un fruité agréable sur de belles notes de pamplemousse. Palais est houblonné assez sec avec un petit côté feuilles de thé vertes. Amertume moyenne et herbacée. Pointe épicée en fin de bouche qui vient titiller la gorge. IPA très correcte qui offre une belle palette de fruité et herbacé.

Draft @ Green River, Bologna. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme offre une petite note de levure belge, grains concassés et un superbe bouquet épicé venant des grains de poivre. Palais offre ici un profil levure classique relevé par un ajout poivré blanc qui est franchement bien agréable. Pointe d’ester avec un fruité rappelant une légère purée d’abricot complétée par un côté banane. Ici encore, l’ajout de poivre propulse la bière sur une autre dimension qui fait un peu la spécialité italienne. Ici, ça fonctionne très bien, le tout est léger et simplement délicieux.

Hazy golden color with medium sized head. Aroma of plastic, yeast, grass, hay, some malt and very light spices. The body is lean and the mouthfeel quite dry in the front; moderate malt flavor, with accents of honey hay and paper, and light traces of spicy yeast; light residual sweetness in the middle, and light astringency in the end; ordinary bitterness.
Boring, it can’t stand up against many other good examples.

Bottle at the Beer, Bocce and Boozer Tasting, London. This bottle gushed and shamed me. Pretty explosive. It was in good shape flavor-wise, though. Pours black-brown with a creamy tan head. Light roast in the nose, some grass, earth and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with dark chocolate, light soap and rubbing alcohol, subtle roast. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Warm, semi-sweet finish with some heavy booze, dark cocoa and moderate roast. Decent beer overall. Could do with some fine tuning, but it’s decent as is.

Bottle (gusher!), thanks to Leighton at his Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting. It pours opaque dark brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is smoke, roasted malt, hint of vinegar/tangy fruit, caramel and spice. The taste is roasted malt, milk chocolate, liquorice, meat and caramel, with a dry finish. Medium body and very lively carbonation. Decent enough.
