Description
Everything started in 2011, thanks to the collaboration of the brothers Marcello, Monica and Davide Ceresa. The name Retorto was suggested by the topography of the valley where the brewery is located, and it’s ironically personified in a clumsy king who never disdains a pint of good beer. Determined by the strong aspiration of the brewer Marcello and a shared yearning for the ancient art of making beer, the three brothers aspire to revolutionize the italian beer landscape, testing new flavors and new sensations.

Bottle, 75cl. It’s an almost clear one, golden in color and with a small, off-whitee head on top. Lots of coriander on the nose, some lemon peel and orange, and a faint touch of malts. Flowers too. A bit thin on the palate, and maybe a bit hard on the carbonation, and also a bit low on the carbonation level. Coriander and citrus fruits dominates the flavor too, leaving little room for the malts. Low bitterness in the end, but at a pleasant level. A refreshing and quite tasteful one, although a bit too flowery I think. 121109

Rauchig-süßer Beginn mit steigender Bitterkeit. Leider besonders im Hintergrund laff und entäuschend, dann kommen Kräuternoten auf, die eine bittere Unterstützung erhalten. 12/9/9/8//9

12/06/2012 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Bruna, abbastanza limpida, riflessi color coca-cola e miele di castagno, schiuma leggera bianca, non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, con note tostate e di luppolo. In bocca è meravigliosamente equilibrata, calda, avvolgente, malto, con note torbate e finale amaro di luppolo, magnifica. Corpo medio, consistenza oleosa, carbonazione corretta. Elegante, raffinata e complessa, fa piacere vedere come un birrificio così giovane esordisca già a questi livelli.
