Tartaruga Fine Brewing

Client Brewer in Soignies, Hainaut, Belgium 🇧🇪

Established in 2015

Description
Each summer Patrizio was driving to Italy to visit his family with his trunk packed with Belgian beers. During long evenings people were gathering on the terrace to taste the famous "birra belga". As a pastime Patrizio made small turtles with the hood wires of the bottles and gave them to the children. Every evening, the kids were asking him: "please make me a turtle (tartaruga in Italian)". Remembering these joyful moments, the name Tartaruga came as a natural choice when brewing its first beer in 2013. Since then Patrizio has been brewing its beers in collaboration with NovaBirra. In January 2015, Tartaruga Fine Brewing was born! And for the sake of keeping a higher level of quality Patrizio has chosen the De Ranke brewery in Dottignies to go and brew himself all its beers.

Bouteille 33cl de Malt Attacks. BB 20/07/2022. Cuivre, col beige, café au lait. Arôme offre un effet de poudreux, poussiéreux grains tirant sur léger grillé. Le rétro houblonné qui est assez marqué et je note un léger effet mentholé. fleuri tirant sur léger tropical d'ananas. Effet grain reste bien là en retrait avec un retour de café. Palais est malté, grillé, pas mal de torréfié avec un petit côté poudreux et finement houblonné qui ressort tout de même pas mal en fin de bouche. Chocolaté, léger grillé marqué avec un café un peu plus en recul le tout sur un effet léger de noisettes.Cependant, l'effet de mélasse revient à la charge sur la fin.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 10/11/2018. Dorée, col blanc crémeux. Arôme au nez bien houblonné, retrouve un effet rappelant clairement les houblons C, pin, résineux avec un bon fleuri, petite touche fruité en rétro - pêche. Palais est assez houblonné et s’éloigne clairement de ces sempiternelles ipa belges couvertes par des levures belges trop dominantes, cependant, on reste clairement sur du belge. Houblonné avec belles notes fruitées tropicales, gazon , résineux. Finement épicé sur la fin rappelant le girofle, le tout reste assez sec voire un peu de trop. Retrouve encore une petite percée fleuri en fin de bouche.
