375ml bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold, hazy, with medium grained white foam, irregular. Aroma has quite a yeasty and spicy feeling, orange. Body is average, with good carbonation. Taste is well balanced between some sweetness, decent bitterness, a hint of acidic. Final is citrus and quite enjoyable.

Bottle that Andy brought over, thanks! Red amber with decent head. Mild nose, a bit of grain and caramel. Flavor is pretty sweet, a bit nutty, lots of caramel honey-malt notes. Decent bitterness but doesn't quite balance the sweetness.

Shared with HP & Koelschtrinker. Interesting herbal spicy beginning. Herbs with hints of dry caramelly grain. Very nice and interesting. Herbal dry malty aftertaste, great stuff.

Rich deep ruby tinted amber coloured body with a light brown glow and a super-thin, ultra large bubbled head, not even seemingly carbonated at all. Aroma of toasted malt, rice, grain, light metallic notes, a dose of astringent bitterness from the malt with no hops at all, and only a touch of caramelised sugars towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grainy flavours at first with only a dose of malts, a touch of barnyardie funk from the yeast with a lot of caramelised sugars and pitted fruit sweetness noticeable towards the end with not much body to support the grain. Aftertaste shows the caramelised sugars, a touch of the fruity notes and a tiny bit of the tinny and metallic malty flavours with little else, and again - no body at all. Overall, a pretty poor beer with only the malt really noticeable and a touch of sugars - but not much of a biere de garde to me at all. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from Kona Beer/Wine Market in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii [island] on 29-December-2018 for US$13,30 sampled in my hotel room here in Kona, Hawaii on 31-December-2018.

Grape! Fruity, light, no tartness at all. Very soft, refreshing.
