If you like basil and have some cuisine to go with it, go for it! It’s a very nicely crafted beer imho, the basil is very intense, especially in the nose. Flavour is also nice, mild with strong basil.

Bottle from Mentelocale open air cafe in Genoa’s old port area. Pours a hazy amber brown with a small off white head. Aroma of butter popcorn, herb and stewed veg. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, touch sour. Medium body, slight sticky texture, average carbonation. Finish is buttery, with a light herbal bitterness. Was a grower this one.

Bottle [gift from Inoven] @ home. Clear rusty orange color, medium to full sized fizzy white head. Smell and taste malts, a weird sort of light tart, slightly bitter. A bit weird, not very flavourful. Fizzy carbonation, low to average body. Meh, don’t like it.

Draft sample @ Fiera della Birra, Cesena ’14. Acajou/ambrée, col blanc-cassé léger. Arôme est malté caramel restant tout de même assez faiblard tout comme le houblon qui reste des plus noble avec qcq effluves citronnées. En bouche, malt et grains torréfié, caramel, note de pain avec un petit côté farineux rappelant la châtaigne et un fini fruité rouge. Pointe de levure et de grillé ponctué par un fini amer fruité noble, citronné. Moyenne, et à l’opposé des bières plus spéciales telles la Regina et Genova.

Draft sample @ Fiera della Birra, Cesena ’14. Deuxième bière de cette brasserie et deuxième surprise. Sans vraiment m’ébahir devant le style, j’admets que ici, bière au miel ne lésine pas sur le miel. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme est intense au niveau du miel, tout simplement super, très fleuri et aux effluves botaniques. Palais est prononcé de miel donnant un profil unique et qui offre une belle dimension à la bière. Un score peut-être trop élevé mais cette bière à le mérite de changer un peu des nombreuses IPA et autres allemandes qui pullulent en Italie sans vraiment apporter qcq chose de nouveau.

Draft sample @ Fiera della Birra, Cesena ’14. In an ocean of boring look-alike beers that fail to set each other apart from the next or from being a clone of an American comes Genova. While not being the Holy Grail of beers this one was by far the most intriguing and intersting beer of the festival, to love or to hate. That is what Italy needs. Dorée, col fin blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet immense de basilic sur un bouquet feuillu qui domine le tout. Palais est étrange et intriguant à la fois. Le tout est un mélange entre herbes bouillies de basilic et un rappel d’épinards. Amertume houblonnée perce en fin de bouche avec une petite touche de poivre blanc sur la fin. Cette présence est intense et couvre quasi tout le profil malté et amer. 16 for originality.

Bottled from Genova. Hazy amber color, small off-white head. Slightly tart, berryish aroma. Medium-bodied. Slightly sour (infected?), spicey (clove) flavor. Also quite sweet berryish flavor. Probably past its prime.
