Hand pumped at Malto, Riccione, Italy. Pours a reddish dark gold, brilliant and clear, with a nice head of very fine white foam. Aroma is toffee, earthy, a little caramel. Body is average, practically without carbonation. Taste is very mildly sweet, with some earthy bitterness providing balance. Final is average in intensity, but with a nice lasting earthy feeling.

Not bad. Some flinty minerality, lemon peel, pine needles. Dry pale malts, Ila of hay. Drinks alright. Quite a forward minerally character.

550ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malty, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, very light sweet, with a smooth, fresh, malty, green hop, light dry pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate. A good example of the style with some spiciness.
