Notes from May 2009 Baby growler fill of this kid bock over at New Beer. Poured into a generic tumbler. Lots of activity. Bottom up, it has as much activity as a glass of Coke. Tawny in color, with a quarter inch of thinning-out fizz. Smell is a little weird at first. A little vegetable-y with a convincing whiff of sour cream. The end of it gets a little cola, but just not enough. Warming up, more of a numbing/spicy bitterness that's all too out of place. Carbonation is great, but it's simply just cutting through water. Taste is of light wheat bread, in second place: charred malt, a much lesser amount of mixed vegetables, with mineral runoff & bitter tea on the somewhat lingering finish. There's a desperate need of alcohol here, as it tastes a good bit like Goya Malta, or some other similar travesty. No phenols, no doughy feel, very noticeable corners cut. A very piss poor attempt. : -

Strikes a good balance of beer-y and fruity. Aftertaste is a little heavy on rind.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso orzo tostato, caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma va in rapida dispersione. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione 3 grandi) costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione frizzante, persistente ed insistita. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è moderato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di panettone, caffè, liquirizia, amaretto, frutta secca, agrumi e arancia rossa.
