Red coloured beer with medium white head and medium carbonation. Strawberry like aroma (fruity) + sweet. Full little creamy palate. Finish is fruity sweet, balanced.

Alla spina @ a pizzeria in Novara. Amber with an off white head. Yeast and malt dominate but there’s some sweet caramel, hops and metallic notes underneath. Nothing particularly special but after a week of drinking Raffo, Moretti and various random Italian beers, this was like the best beer ever.

Alla spina al Bar Berto di Piazza delle Erbe; colore rosso chiaro slavato, con schiuma beige chiara. Aroma pressoché inesistente, sapore sconcertante; le caratteristiche della dubbel sono una reminiscenza lontana nascoste sotto la maltosità stucchevole e metallica di quella che potrebbe essere una Vienna scrausa. D’altra parte l’etilico si fa sentire a modo suo. Terribile, perniciosa.

On tap at the Pianeta Birra, Rimini, Italy.
brewed specially for italian market. Pours a nice clear amber colour with firm pale beige head and fresh malty nose. The aroma is maly and slight hoppy with notes of caramel and fruit, but the end is short and quite weak. Pity, beginning was very promising.
