7%ABV; in bottiglia 75cl come "La Biscara", comprata al supermercato Unes di Arquata Scrivia. Splendida IPA del birrificio Amiata, che inizialmente all’aroma non mi convince granché (flebile, con una nota di luppolo che tenta di spuntare ma non riesce); ma in bocca è tutta un’altra bestia.

Bottle. Golden with a medium frothy white head. Aroma of caramel and big citrusy floral nose. Good malt backbone and citrus flavours coming through. Medium bodied. Dry and hoppy bitter finish. A decent IPA and another good find in Italia.

Bottle. A creamy white lasting head over a medium bodied clear orange hoppy ale. Nose got the right typical features of an I.p.A. with a slight touch of citrusy and a light hint of herbaceous creating a nice whole, with a bit of maltiness too. Starts with some fruitiness leading to a bitter, resinous end with a medium aftertaste.

Hazy amber color; huge creamy head. Very nice fruity hop (mango and apricot). Medium body, some sweetness, malt flavor, a bit dry at the end, and light vegetables touch.

Hazy amber color; big head. Very good hop aroma, with mango and light oranges. Malt and caramel flavor, getting weaker and drier at the end. Good.

2008-03-28, draught at Salone della Birra Artigianale e di Qualità 2008, Milan, 7-5-7-5-15=39
With Chinook and Amarillo hops

Cloudy golden color; big head. It has a very nice hoppy aroma, not fruity, but with leaves and a lot of resins, delicate. The body is average, less strong than expected, with good caramel and toffee flavor, but getting drier at the end, probably for the strong hop resins, giving a late light astringency too. Very long final of American hops. I’m missing some body and malt here, but good hop, almost honeyish. Very pleasant.

Bought at Off License, a great specialty beer shop in Rome. Rich golden color, with a full, creamy head. Very hoppy nose, showing character that can be described as lemony, herbaceous and a bit woodsy. Flavor is very balanced, hop accented, with the lemon, herb, citrus thing continuing. A very solid hoppy ale.
