This was the standout for me among the Hill Top beers at Birre in Festa. Made with smoked Irish seaweed this stout is a cola black with a tan head. The seaweed gives it that umami savouriness with a touch of smoke & roasted dark malts. The taste is great a lovely smokey roasted chocolate.

On tap at Birre in Festa. This IPA from a 4 month old brewery is made with cascade, tomahawk & si come clocking in at 6.5% it has a glowing copper color with a well balanced hoppy aroma which has hints of biscotti. The taste is clean - a bitter straight up IPA no muss no fuss.

On tap at Birre in Festa. Made with Tomohawk hops this Light IPA is a cloudy straw gold with a thick white head. Light bodied with a crisp bitterness, quite bitter but balanced a good Session IPA.

Hand pump at the Birre in Festa festival. 4.2% it poured a nice amber gold with an aroma of malty caramel. The body was a bit too light & not as silky as I usually get from cask ales but the taste was pretty good a mildly bitter caramel malt beer.

They are still dialing in this recipe but the version I tried was a pale light gold with a nose of crackery malts & lightly fruity. A blend of Helles and a Blond Ale. The taste was crisp wheat crackers & a touch of fruits. You don’t notice the 6.2% at all apparently his efficiency was more than expected making this a dangerously light easy drinking 6.2%!

From tap at Brasserie 4:20, Rome. Hazy pale golden color with white head. Hoppy, floral, fruity and light malty aroma. Sweet malty fruity taste. Medium, oily body, soft carbonation. Easy drinkable.
