33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold with moderate white foam, fine. Aroma is fruity (peach) and esters, like a Belgian ale. Body is fairly dense with moderate tickling carbonation. Taste is pretty sweet with some bitterness. Finish is fairly long and sweet.

On tap at 'La Diana'. Clear, deep red with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, a bit sourish, quite fruity aroma of redcurrant, raspberry and some elderberry. Minimally sweet, moderately sour, quite fruity taste of redcurrant, elderberry and raspberry, accompanied by a touch of hay and dill, followed by a short, moderately tart, quite dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Refreshing, well-balanced brew!

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal floreale. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la costanza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è di persistenza lunga. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza velata e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è elevata e la continuità è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. L'aroma in bocca è quello di miele, luppolo, resina e frutta secca.

Draft at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours very hazy dark blonde with very fine white foam, a nice head. Aroma is nice with a lemony and spicy feeling mixed with typical Belgian esters. Body is fairly dense with moderate carbonation. Taste is sweet but coupled with a nice spiciness and the same lemony feeling from aroma. Limited bitterness. Finish is fairly long and sweet.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, white grape, citrus peel/zest, peppercorns, light pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light nutty/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops, peppercorns, bready malt, and light-moderate fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, white grape, citrus peel/zest, peppercorns, light pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light nutty/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy bitterness; and peppercorn spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, white grape, citrus peel/zest, peppercorns, light pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light nutty/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, peppercorns, bready malt, and light-moderate fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a very good English IPA style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, peppercorns, bready malt, and light-moderate fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Nothing too out of the ordinary with the peppercorn additions. Nelson, Simcoe, and Saphir hops. Nicely juicy citrus and earthy hop complexity; sizable bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet. Not overdone on peppercorn spice flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and great style example.
