On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a medium white foamy head. Aroma has cloves, estery notes, and a little citrus. Flavour is like a hef (not whatever an Italian wheat is), with cloves, citrus zest, and estery notes. Fairly dry, with an estery, lightly citrusy finish. Decent.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a very weird hop character—almost fungal and sulphuric—with little else discernible. Flavour has a strange hop expression, with earthy hops, fungal notes, and bready malt. Not a great hop expression. This doesn’t work.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice bready caramel malt base, with light toasted nuts in back. Flavour has a reasonably deep maltiness—toffee, bready malt, a touch of burnt sugars—with a very dry finish. Clean and malty, satisfyingly brewed. Good.

On tap at Birrificio Italiano, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly laid back for a double pils, with soft grassy hops, straw, and biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise not particularly expressive, with seltzery notes and biscuity malt. Falls pretty flat, with little hop expression. Meh.

On tap at Officina, pours a clear dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out deep crusty bready malt and toasted caramel. Flavour is dry and malty, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and a touch of nuttiness. One of the most interesting Irish red ales I’ve had in a while. Good for the style.
