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.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 19/05/2017. Only lightly hazy golden, creamy white fizzy bubbles. Nose is oily lemon hops, with light mango, some apricot,… Nose is not very expressive, mellow fruit, pleasant, neat stuff. Taste is oily, light sweet, white great, mango, floral, bit lively, floral finish with light grass. There is some light powdery yeast. Pleasant easy to drink, could be a small touch more expressive but I am digging it right now as it is. Reminds me of the work of De La Senne, I suppose a bit of De Ranke as well as which is a more logical comparison I suppose. Neat modern style hoppy Belgian. This I like. This is hopefully the future & this is the first time that I hear of a Mistral hop.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 26/03/2018. Amber ale brewed with NZ hops. Hazy deep & indeed amber, collapsing fluffy big white bubbles, head is big initially but quickly collapses. Nose is malty farmhouse orange peel, substantial malt, sweet hay, rustic barn hop, old orange peel & reasonably big malt profile. Not the kind of profile you would expect from NZ hops usually, more rustic with big overripe stone fruit & reasonable dark bread malt. Lively body, taste is lively, substantial malt body, lots of grain & bread, hay, barn, burned sugar leading into bitterness, bitterness is hay, barn, rustic, touch chewing gum, less fruity than I would expect, there is some overripe stone fruit here but more in a classical BE fashion rather than from hop, some burned sugar and hay. There is thank God no BE yeast profile going on here. The hoppy classification on the bottle is a bit misleading or rather this is not classical USA hop as I expected, there is bitterness here. This is a great low ABV beer, nice malt profile, interesting barn, bread & burned sugar notes. My second one from these guys after the Super Fresca, I am digging here, not sure if these guys are good or if De Ranke brews for them – De Ranke just rocks. Very rich, great malt profile, interesting bread profile, near barn house substantial bitterness.
