Description
Matteo & Cristina Minelli founded Birra Flea in 2013, with the dream of showing their love for the town of Gualdo Tadino and combining the best traditions with an innovative approach. They decided to create a product with a very strong local identity: a beer containing the best fruits of their hometown. The output is 55.000 hectoliters of Italian craft beer per year!
Birra Flea is produced from the well-known waters of Gualdo Tadino and the best malts - 100% Italian barley - produced and selected from the Minelli's farm. Birra Flea is produced with only wheat and barley malts - no other unmalted grains - and is both unfiltered and unpasteurized. It is refermented in the bottle in order to preserve its organoleptic properties, without the addition of preservatives and chemical additives.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 08.07.2016. Thanks Mari & Vesa!
Aroma has minerals, grass and pineapple juice. Gives a dry feeling. Flavour has pineapple juice, flour and biscuits. Floury palate. Finishes with harsh herbal bitterness and grass. Somewhat easy-going even though the finish disturbs a bit here. Becomes a bit too dry after some sips.

Bottle courtesy of Björn (non-RB). Pours sparkling clear golden with a frothy white head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny malty and tiny fruity with crackers, caramel, grapefruit juice, orange juice, moist grass, pine needles and lemon zest. Taste is tiny sweet, slightly bitter, slightly fruity, slightly floral and tiny perfume-like. Mouthfeel is soft, round, slightly astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is slightly sweet and bitter with caramel, grapefruit, mango, moist grass, pine needles, honey, kumquats and lemon zest. Full but not terrible. Would recommend making it even drier and adding more aroma hops.
