Description
Forni di Sopra, anno 2008, Dolomiti Friulane… tutto nasce qui. E qui continuerà a svilupparsi, tra sperimentazione ed applicazione al servizio di quest’arte antichissima.

Nel nostro laboratorio birraio dalla capacità produttiva di 2.000 litri di mosto al giorno, creiamo numerose specialità brassicole, senza compromessi nella scelta della miglior materia prima disponibile. Senza scegliere microfiltrazione, pastorizzazione o altri artifizi che aumenterebbero la shelf life dei nostri prodotti, ma diminuirebbero al contempo caratteristiche organolettiche e freschezza.

La birra artigianale è una goccia di natura e dà il proprio meglio quando ne rispettiamo la stessa freschezza, attraverso l’accortezza nella conservazione e nel servizio, richiedendola in minor quantità, ma più frequentemente.

Bottle sample @ Leuven Beer Innovation 2015, shared with the RB Belgian crew. Léger doré, col blanc. Arôme au nez convaincant belge, assez rustique dans l’usage de grains, houblonné noble en rétro et donnant une petite touche fruité-fleurie ainsi qu’épicée. Palais est malté, pils, pâle résiduel un peu doux pour une levure gardant son côté bien belge, fini sur un profil herbacé plaisant et ponctué par un léger ajout épicé.

Small white rim over hazy yellow-ochre beer. Coriander, and some malts, but especially coriander. Coriandersoup. Fake citrus. Yet there are no spices, in here, so I suppose no coriander either. Then it’s again the spelt, maybe with the yeast, that make it so unpalatable to me. Light, slick. Ugh!

Italian DIPA with hazy orange blonde colour and thick, yellowish white, moussy head. Lovely aroma of tons of citrus and exotic fruits: orange, lime, papaja, melon, grapefruit, peach... Soft fruity sweetness in onset, fluffy and very pleasant mouthfeel, delicious bready malt sweetishness as a backbone for a wonderfully aromatic, citrussy, ’fruity’ and spicy hop finish, long, dry and complex. Very well-crafted example of the style, with that same ’Italian’ elegance I found in Borgo’s Re-Ale Extra just the other day...

Thanks for sharing! Sampled twice 750 ml. bottle @ Leuven Innovation Beer Festival. Description says no spices. Hazy to murky orange with no head. First time around nose is weird plastic & metallic, plant-quality, second time around more clear coriander, description says that no spices were used. Taste is plastic, bitter, weird, green plants, smoked plastic, other grains,… Coriander second time around. Thicker other grains body. Not a fan.
