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.

Bottle at home. The colour is hazy, dark, matt straw with a whipped eggwhite-like, off-white and medium head. Sweet and fruity aroma with banana, citrus, hay and some spices. More citrus in the flavour along with wet hay, and is a little sour. Has a light and silky mouth feel, and a light bitterness. An easy-drinking, light and fresh weizen.

Bottle at home. The colour is slightly unclear with a brownish amber colour, and with a small off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with dried fruit, wort, cola, brown sugar and heather honey. Very sweet is also the flavour along with more sweet malt, dried fruit, caramel, chocolate, spices and alcohol. Has a slick and a bit watery mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A very sweet beer and nearly on the edge of being too sweet, but is flavourful and aromatic.
