In bocca è dolce, maltata, con amaro fisco e residuo zuccherino. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Sbilanciata, manca di amaro e secchezza e ha un profilo di malto troppo invadente.

Belgian strong golden ale from a microbrewery north of Rome, spiced with ginger, as the Italian name 'zenzero' announces. Medium thick, mousy, egg-white, creamy, slowly thinning but generally very stable head, sustained by very lively sparkling raging upwards through a warm, 'metallic' orangey 'old gold' coloured beer, turning into a misty peachy-orange with sediment. Aroma of ginger powder and strongly so, but not entirely overpowering impressions of sweetbread, candy apple, peach jam, halfdry orange peel, sweet paprika, gin, iron or even silver, carrot cake, cold pumpkin soup, withered basil leaves. Sweet onset, candyfloss effect, candied apricot, peach candy, but with a sourish tone underneath; medium carbonation (less 'stinging' than expected based on the visible sparkling effect), slick mouthfeel; rounded, clearly sugar-filled, cereally and caramelly malt sweet body upon which more and more sweet-and-spicy ginger is built, with a dry spiced - ginger candy-like - effect in the end; the spicy side of it is accentuated by very prominent, 'jenever'-like, wry alcohol which appears before its time and overpowers most other flavours, apart from a trace of that initial sweetness and a dash of grassy, bit leafy hop bitterishness tucked away at the back. The alcohol burns on the tongue for a while after swallowing. Way too boozy for an 8.5% ABV beer even in comparison with most Belgian tripels and other blondes of similar strength; the ginger, admittedly, has been applied in a sweet-spicy, bit candyish way fitting in well. An 'edelbier' of the unbalanced, overly boozy kind and I hate to say this because - contrary to many other Belgian beer lovers - I am anything but chauvinistic, but this kind of thing is better left to the established Belgian family brewers, whether you like this type of beer or not. I only very moderately do, from time to time.
