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.

330 ml bottle. Unclear yellow body with a medium sized white head. Aroma is floral, some citric fruit, hint of lemon, herbs and rather dominating lavender. Flavor is quite light pale malt, low bitterness and probably fooling me off a lot with the strong aroma. Anyway my notes says flowers, herbs, citric, ginger, lavender and coriander with low bitterness. Not very complex really, but not bad either – quite interesting in a way, an aroma based flavor somehow I think. Maybe I would by it again.

Bottle. It’s an almost clear one, golden in color and with a dense, two-finger sized off-white head. Some lacings. It’s citrusy and piney on the nose, with a touch of pale malts. A bit weak and one dimensional I think, both in the aroma and the flavor. Citrus peel, oranges and pine cones. Medium body, dry and pleasantly carbonated. Lasting lightly bitter finish with citrus peel and pine cones. An easy drinkable one, although a bit one dimensional. 141220

Bottle. A hazy, pale golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma is lightly citrusy and perfumed, with a faint malty touch. Rather weak. Some pale malts in the flavor too, with a decent bitterness and a citrusy, piney touch. It’s quite dry on the palate, medium bodied and with a soft carbonation level. Lasting bitter finish. Dry and refreshing, easy drinkable. Could easily drink this again. 141220

Bottle, 75cl. A very small dark beige head sits on top of an almost clear dark brown body. Cocoa, chocolate, prunes, some alcohol and some pine cones in the aroma. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, with some alcohol and quite a lot of cocoa. It’s full bodied and lightly warming on the palate with a too low level of carbonation. Cocoa and some bitterness in the finish. Except the carbonation it’s a really fine beer. 141128
