Bottle shared at the chriso post-GBBF tasting 2014 - London. Pours unclear amber with a light, frothy white head. Tasty stuff, with notes of melon, grainy bread, orange. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish with further grains, orange rind, bread. OK hop expression. Good overall.

Lightly hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry with a good fine crispness. Light malts, little thin dry creamy sweetness. Hops bring a little fresh orange and lesser pith. Light dry finish. Easy going and drinkable despite it’s dryness.

Bottle shared at Christ’s post GBBF minidig 16/08/2014. Hazed golden coloured coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is nice hoppy, tropical fruit, midget gems, with some floral pollen notes. Flavour is composed of straw, berry and lemon hop, crisp grains and a nice floral nice. Palate is light with hihish carbonation. Good beer.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours unclear yellow with a frothy white head. Very nice hop character here, with notes of melon and grapefruit. Light to medium pale malt sweetness, nominal bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Juicy hop finish with more melon and grapefruit along with some orange. Quite good.

At King Arthur pub in Ciampino/Rome, draught. Oily black, gassy brown head. Nose of coffee and herbs. Mouth is gassy, spicy and a bit lack of identity. Some sourness overall. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Cuivrée, col blanc cassé. Arôme au bouquet houblonné épais qui laisser percer de fines effluves houblonnées, grains fermenté aux notes de caramel prononcés. Palais est malté, caramel presque dans la lignée de toffee, pointe de sucre résiduel. Houblonné offre un côté très huileux sur un fleuri modéré et un accompagnement de levure qui en addition des malts prononcés enlèvent un peu de l’effet de l’IPA.

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Brune foncée, col blanc cassé. Arôme est maté prononcé, fort en caramel accompagné d’un léger grillé et un bouquet subtil de torréfié. Je note aussi un petit côté anisé très plaisant. Palais est malté grillé, pointe de chocolat, le tout sur un côté agréable d’épice et ce rappel de réglisse, et anisé. Le palais reste épais même à 5% pour une petite pointe d’avoine?

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Italian Beer Week-end / Zwanze 2014 CML. Black, mocha bubbles only on the side; Thick mocha smoke in the nose, touch bbq, light charcoal. Thick smoky & creamy mocha taste, chocolate hazelnut milk, caramel, light charcoal roast,..; Creamy chocolate milk body. Pretty nice stuff here even if a bit of a small mishmash of flavours here.
