24/03/2014 La Tana (handpump). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma cappuccino mediamente persistente. Al naso sentori di malti tostati, note caffettose, buona luppolatura, alcol, leggero metallico che tende via via a scomparire. In bocca ha una bella struttura, malti tostati, note caffettose, liquirizia, finale amaro lungo e persistente. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione soft. Ottima!

Taste comprises tangy citrics, bitter orange, lemon rind, earthy, grass. Medium bodied, soft to fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok stuff - golden blonde @6% ABV, not sure what style to have this one as mind!

10th Dec 2013: Open Baladin (Rome). Large glass from one of the many taps during a mini-lunchtime session while resting from site seeing. Dirty old gold in colour, hazy with a full white head. Fruity and yeasty nose: taste refreshing and also very fruity. The beer as a whole was fine: my first ever ’craft beer’ in Italy. Didn’t really know what to expect. This was well made and interesting, the mixed fruit aromas and flavours were a real surprise (for some reason): a real fruit salad sort of thing. Well carbonated, this suited the beer: it wouldn’t have tasted right in cask form, it needed that ’fizz’ to make it work.

Bottle. Gold with a huge white head. High carbonation, still a little syrupy. Aroma of dough, grapefruit, oranges, apricots. Very sweet with oranges and sugary dough, grapefruit. Sharp bitter finish, but it’s not very dry. Powerfully flavoured but a bit wearing.

(Bottle) Cloudy mid brown with off-white head. Aroma has pleasant yeasty esters, pepper, alcohol and hints of sweet fruitiness. Full bodies, creamy velvety with some stickiness. Interesting and unusual flavor profile. It starts characteristic if a string Belgian beer and finishes with some noticeable hoppy bitterness - guess that the Triple + IPA. The foretaste has caramel sweetness and stone fruit. Peppery spice develops and then some rather harsh bitterness leads into a long finish. The alcohol is not apparent in the taste. This is an interesting combination of styles, and quite enjoyable; however the hops are a little harsh.
