| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 750ml bottle with dinner at an Italian restaurant. Hazy golden color with a medium white head and pretty good lacing. Aroma is spicy and fruity with some malt and grain. Flavor starts as pale malt, then honey, with a spicy finish that I would guess comes from the myrrh and ginger. Average carbonation and fairly dry palate, seems to have been bottle conditioned. Some fine sediment remains at the end. Not bad stuff. Forza Italia! terrybail (339), London, Ontario, Canada
