12 oz. bottle sent for review. Pours a nice amber to orange beer, bubbly, under a thick head. Smell brings in fruity esters right off the start. As with many Northern or Scots made brews, I imagine I catch a little peat in the nose as well. Taste starts with a slightly thin mouthfeel from light carbonation. Not near a pub draught, but a nice attempt. Light malt sweetness has been tempered by hops, though I don’t catch any hop impression except for maybe a tinge of earthiness. Yes, quite sessionable indeed.

This stuff is all over central Italy. Thin palate. Low carbonation. A little sweet. Dark yellow, lots of malt, minimal roasted flavor. Easy enough to drink, and a nice change from the cheap lagers I was finding everywhere.

33cl bottle. Bought Manerba , Italy: Pours amber with a off white head. Aroma is complex:, sweet malts, liquorice & fruits. Taste is also caramel & sugar with quite a noiceable alcohol burn. Sticky & not surprisingly tough to swallow!

0.33 l bottle. Pours dark yellow to orange clear body with extra small head forming after pouring the beer. Aroma is very weak, malty. But flavor is quite full, pleasant, very light, exceptional. Alcohol is felt maybe just a little on tongue as sparkling. Very nice long finish, maybe just a hint bitterish after a while. Average carbonation. Very good beer, if aroma was stronger it would gain higher score.

Bottled. Copper colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is strong malts, some hops and barley. Flavour is malty, caramel, candy sugar and some slight roasted notes. The finish and aftertaste are dominated by a dry hoppyness. Good strong ale!
