Bottle from State Line. I like Italian beers. The bottles are interesting and unique, the styles are often interesting and always unique, and you never know quite what awaits you once for open the cap or pop the cork. This one pours turbid canary orangy with a 1-finger, fluffy off-white head, great lacing, and numerous small particulate floaties. The nose is dry florals, orange zest, hopcitrus, apricot, and spicy yeast. The flavor is dry, floral, spicy, yeast, with apricot, peach, orange zest, and hopcitrus, all combining to form a velvety palate that is so smooth I almost thought this one was nitrogenated. Nice complexity.

Jun 29, 2008 (750ml bottle) Pours a hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of Gentian flowers, citrus, black pepper, and dustiness. Flavor of florals, biscuit, apricot, tea leaves, and various other herbs. Another interesting brew in Italian brewing.

Jun 16, 2008 Bottle, thanks to Bu11zeye.
Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with some sediment floating around and white head. Aroma is very floral. Flavor of grapefruit with an interesting spice, also detecting a little orange?
Has a light-medium body, high carbonation. It was allright...

Jun 11, 2008 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with brief, foamy, white head. Fruity, floral nose with herbs, caramel and fresh grass. Fruity, herbal taste with notes of flowers, spices and bitter-sweet hints of gentian lingering in the background. Surprisingly light body, fairly dry. Refreshing and nice with balanced notes of gentian.

May 31, 2008 Wow! Amazing yet subtle pepper and spice streaks throught the nose and palate. Good hop action too; pale ale-like in this respect. Ultra-clean build that could be accused of lacking a little stuffing.
