No head whatsoever; hazy red-amber beer. Alcohol, fusels, oranges, flavoured spirit. Again booze with fusels, dried fruit: oranges, strawberry, kumquat, rosehips. Hints at cinnamon, cedar. Fiery MF with alcoholburn and -thinning, undercarbonated. It has a tad homebrew-gone-in-overdrive aspect, but I liked it all the same.

Small beige head over brown-black beer. Bit smoked, wood & charcoal, lots of (sweeter) roast. Roasted chestnuts, liquorice, faint hint of madeire, ripe banana, vanilla. Feels well-bodied for the meagre 5.3%. Good carbonation. Quite decent brew, if served blind, I would have had difficulty classifying it.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color caffelatte ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine, con carbonazione abbondante. Il piano sottostante offre una visione offuscata. Bollicine fini costituiscono anche la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è rotondo. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, cioccolato al latte, caffè e liquirizia.

On tap at IL Santo Bevitore, Venice, Italy Thursday 5th September 2019 in the company of Will and Steve. A very pleasant fruity IPA, the bitterness a little more subtle than expected, carbonation provides a nice mouthfeel. Good.
