Hazy golden color. Strong resiny and animal hop aroma. Lean pale malts flavor, moderate sweetness, with a strong juicy, resiny, fruity hop character; passion fruit, cedar; a bit dunk. Full pleasure, very satisfying; perfect ignorant usage of quality hops.
Wow! A modern IIPA in Italy! This is fantastic.

2015-12-29, bottle from Birrivico, Como; 8-4-8-4-16=40
Aroma of candied fruits, some animal character, more animal character in the flavor, and fairly sweet. A bit heavy in the final.
2015-12-19, draught at Birrivico, Como, 8-4-8-5-17=42
Hazy golden color with generous frothy head. Wonderful hop aroma, fruity, a bit tropical, a bit animal. The body is very lean, the residual sweetness very low, nice Pale malt flavor, and then plenty of juicy hops, sweet oranges, a bit tropical too; slightly more earthy in the final.
Another excellent modern IIPA by Hammer.

Amber color, hazy. Perfumy aroma, with delicate hop. Caramel flavor, rather dry, bitter, a bit earthy in the final.
Among Amber Ales, a quite good one.

Blond color, clean, medium sized head. Animal hop aroma, medium strength. Dry mouthfeel, good combination of flavors, pale crispy malt and animal resiny hops. Strong bitterness.
Fresh and modern, rivals with some of the best American ones. Very well made.

On tap @So Good (Rome). Pours amber with a medium to little off-white head. Aroma is malty with a pungent hops bouquet, dirty socks. Flavour is balanced between malt and hops, nice. Medium body, medium to light carbonation. So so...
