Clean, very light golden-yellow colour with active carbonation, but the white cap does not stay too long, with no lacing left. The peachy aromas are mild, blending with a light sourness and caramel notes. A decent sour mouthfeel, not overly puckering with a little stick, and then tart left on tongue. The green is felt a tad in this tartiness. A very good, light beer with still something to hold to with the peached, sourness and tea tart.

Hazy, golden-yellow colour with very livid carbonation of tiny bubbles, forming a bit frothy white cap with good retention and some foamy lacing. Fresh aromas of lemon zest blended with hints of tropical fruits and other citruses. The flavours continue this path, milder and with a drying finish. Hints of cereal grains do appear. The mouthfeel is fairly light, but yet a little juicy. Quite a nice, refreshing, hazy-juicy Pale Ale that does the trick.

Clean, golden colour with nice lively carbonation, a big white frothy head, good retention and loads of lacing lines. Fresh Saaz hops giving a nice spicy touch with the Saphir hops blending some fruitiness, and hints of honey. This last hop gives even more fruit notes in the taste with a nice bitter, drying finish. Malty as well, adding to the fruitiness. Apples, pears, mild alcohol. Gets a tad hazy at last pour, and the head seem more creamy. This is quite a good, stronger Pils, still refreshing, but with more of a punch, and a kick.

On tap at Birreria Volo. Pours cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma has some pine and malt. Flavour has pine and citrus. Nothing special.

Pint at Bar Volo pours a murky black with a big cap of beige head. Nose is classic, malt and oats and licorice and molasses. Like a full bodied Guinness, malt and oat and some cocoa. Just off dry finish.

Can: Poured a pinkish color ale with a medium white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some nice raspberry and hibiscus notes that are easily noticeable. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with some fresh raspberry and hibiscus notes and light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with great carbonation. Enjoyable sour with a good level of complexity.
