Commercial Description:
La scelta del miele d'erica da parte di Teo e stata voluta per caratterizzare in modo originale questa birra dove le note di caramello e tamarindo sono bilanciate da importanti luppoli inglesi. Per la rifermentazione e l'affinamento in bottiglia si utilizza una melata d'abete per conferire un impronta aromatica decisa, ma equilibrata.
Brewed with heath honey, refermented in the bottle with fir honeydew.

Small yellow head, persistent over fully hazy ochre-orange beer. Sweetish, spiced, but not specificaly honey; garden herbs. Dry, fiery malts taste, less sweet, unless in the finish. Sugary, but not at all like candi sugar. Cristallized malts. Well bodied, very slick, near syrupy. Generally speaking, this beer is too sweet for my taste. But it has a strong character, and it represents more than just an ordinary, syrupy beer.

In short: A smooth, fluffy and yeasty Belgian Blonde Ale. Highly drinkable.
How: Bottle. Sample at Mondial de la Bière 2008
The look: Clear dark blonde body topped by a large white head
In long: A pleasant fruity meringue nose. Very yeasty beer, soft fluffy body with honeyed peaches, honeyed bananas and honeyed other things. Very round and smooth. A strong herbal feeling. Dry finish. Well balanced. Alcohol well concealed. Despite a 9% abv this felt more like a session Belgian Ale than a Belgian Strong Ale. After so many disappointing Italian beers, finally a good one, Eurika!

Objectively speaking: Pleasant heavyweight that feels much lighter.
I like: Very well extracted honey. Perfumey and enticing aroma.. Masked alcohol. Agreeable spiciness. Competent toasted malt background. Original yeast signature.
I dislike: This would not stand out in a mass of great beers, but is delivious on its own.

#36 Bottle 75 cl. [Mafioso testing @ yespr, thanks Alex for the beer] Average fin bubbled white head that mostly diminished. Spare lacework. Cloudy golden color with particles in flow. Aroma of peach, fruit, hint of coriander. Over the palate came mild caramel. Medium bodied with a lively carbonation and hint of alcoholic texture. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitter and acidic. Fruity and malty sweet lingering finish. 6 / 3 / 6 / 3 / 12 = 3.0

Hazy deep blond color. Some hoppy aroma, maybe honey. Sweetish flavor, with a lightly soapy finish. Drinkable.
