Description
Italian local couple Massimiliano & Sonia, who initially aimed to produce beer only for the family, without the idea of obtaining revenue or even making it a real job, set up the Maiella brewery. Since our first beers in 2008, now several years have passed, the brewery has been forced to move to the home of 'Noonas' at a higher altitude due to the low fermentation.

5th June 2010 - Draft at Open Baladin. Cloudy amber beer made with ’flowers from the village’!! Very floral perfumey nose. Light dry palate. Not much carbonation. Sweetish floral notes and then a little sweet fruit before the dry finish. Perfumed flowery beer but it kinda works! I’m in a minority in thinking so!

3rd June 2010 - Brasserie 4:20 - Bottle - thank you Alex! Hazy pale gold beer. No real head. Very light palate, fairly dry. Very light lagerish malt. A pinch of citrus, that’s about it. Finishes semi dry with a banana tone. Light as a feather! No idea this was made with Quince Jelly at time of tasting or I might have tried to home in on it - certainly not obvious!
