On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a very weird hop character—almost fungal and sulphuric—with little else discernible. Flavour has a strange hop expression, with earthy hops, fungal notes, and bready malt. Not a great hop expression. This doesn’t work.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice bready caramel malt base, with light toasted nuts in back. Flavour has a reasonably deep maltiness—toffee, bready malt, a touch of burnt sugars—with a very dry finish. Clean and malty, satisfyingly brewed. Good.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma has bright grassy hops, pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and hoppy, with seltzery notes, grassy hops, and crisp biscuity malt. A bit too seltzery but quite solid.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly laid back for a double pils, with soft grassy hops, straw, and biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise not particularly expressive, with seltzery notes and biscuity malt. Falls pretty flat, with little hop expression. Meh.

Old rating from 16-08-15 - 330ml bottle, brought back from Italy by a friend for my home collection - Pours a cloudy brown ale with a white head. Aromas of fruits & malt. Tastes of caramel, fruit, malt & hops. Feel is of medium carbonation. Overall a decent enough beer, but not what I'd call a Doppleback.
