Beautiful as always. But, like Tipopils, this is the ghost of what used to be. I regret not having a second chance during this trip to Italy to confirm, in case it was just me on a wrong day.

Beautiful color, red - amber, hazy, with a thick and generous creamy head. Nice aroma, of malt and some hop; perfumy; some alcohol too. Good mouthfeel, solid; sweet malt stickyness; it has a very good mix of malt, caramel, hop, with a touch of vanilla, honey and wood, dynamic; getting warmer, a powerful malt releases all its flavor, smashing the tastebuds. High bitterness level. It seems to be more powerful than the 6.2% would suggest; overall it's softer, more round and more malty than a classic Bock; take your time to warm this incredible brew (at least 30 minutes), and you will be rewarded with a world class beer. Amazing.

Amber colour, beautiful head. Light aroma, malt, yeast. Alcohol. Good body, smooth, lightly sweet, malty, then more equilibrated; candy sugar, light caramel; final more hoppy and dry. Nice palate, hoppy and aromatic.

First batch of the season
The perfect aroma of noble hops, with a light mouthfeel, some crispy malt, and more hop, with a nice grassy presence. Clean.
Tonight, the best beer in the pub.
Thumbs up from my sister too!

Hazy blond color. Grassy hop aroma, with light cereals. Clean malt flavor, a bit too much yeast and bitterness. Pleasant Helles. A bit harsh.

Gold pilsner, beautiful head. Nice hop aroma. Dry, heavily hopped, bitter; fruity hop. Palate long, bitter, not so aromatic.

Golden coloured. Softly malty. Dry, clean, bitter and perfectly balanced. A top class German style pilsener.

Amber coloured. Very fruity and delightfully complex. Big nice late bitterness. Overall very enjoyable and balanced.

Pale yellow, very hazy with a creamy head. Soft, rather estery and full flavoured hefeweizen. I had it on draught on a +40C summer day, which was a near unbeatable combination. This hefeweizen would make many Bavarian brewers green of envy.
