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.

Thick-set light mango-yellow head, stable, over lazily carbonated veiled orange beer. Exotic fruit nose, gassy, lightly coloured malts. Bitterish-toasted-caramel on a maltsyrup base. Bit astringent despite lots of restsugars and candi sugar. Faint fruity surrounding. Feels better carbonated than it looks, medium bodied, oily to viscous, bit sticky, some alcohol obvious. Strange beer. With "mosto d'uve" one might be allowed to expect some vinous features. None of those... generally mediocre. 6/4/6/3/12

750 ml bottle, bottled 13.07.2017. Shared by Sander, thanks!
Orange, hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, yellowish head.
Aroma of grains, grass, flowers, citrus, some pale grapes.
Tastes similar, with more grapes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes dry, floral, grainy, grassy, citric, hop spicy, with grapes.

Very nice. Fruity and grainy, quite sweet initially, while pretty dry towards the finish. Drinks fresh and balanced. Interesting stuff.

Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15
