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.

On tap at 2018 Vrteška festival, Belgrade. Shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran. Murky straw colour, small off-white head. Strong spices, candy, dusty, citrusy effervescent tablet-like. Flavour is exactly like the said tablet... Light body, soft carbonation, moderate finish. Very strange.

On tap at GBBF 2018. Hazy cloudy pale gold colour lasting white head. Now that's quite nice tangerine satsuma flavour. Lemon and a bit of herb. Rather good I thought. Herby.
