Pours a hazy sparkling amber-orange with a large creamy off-white head -- looks great! Aroma is not very Bock-like , it’s yeasty and grainy with some hops and significant fruit -- still quite pleasant though. Flavour is nice and malty with some grain and fruit -- almost like a Vienna Lager. This is a very enjoyable beer it just doesn’t resemble a Bock at all in my opinion.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 5, 2005 Updated: Sep 15, 2005Like all Birrificio’s beers but Cassissona, it is better to drink it on tap, preferably at the brewpub. Bottles have sort shelf life. Amber-orange colour with a creamy head. Aroma is fruitier than you expect in a lager, but it’s dried fruit and connects more to the malts than to esters. Nice sweet maltiness in the mouth, again dried fruit and apricot. Balanced by a good hoppiness and a bitter finish. Probably my favourite italian draft beer. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 10, 2004 Amber coloured. This is a very soft and fruity bock. There are apricot notes in the aroma and in the flavour. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark

Sweet and rather candied malt aroma with toffee, spices and a vague tone of alcohol. Sweet cramelly and fruity flavor again with that candied note. Very drinkable and pretty tasty and definately one of the better I have had from Italy. Thanks a lot Alex for brining me this gift from the brewer!! Ungstrup (15420), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 5, 2004 An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sour, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet malt, caramel, and somewhat flat. Aldrighetti (162), Coltura, Italy
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 18, 2004 On tap, at Artebirra 2003, Italian Craft Beer festival in Milan. Dark golden-orange colour, light haziness, creamy head. Very fruity aroma ("yellow" fruits: peach, apricot), light caramel, toffee, weak citrussy. Taste is fruity again, clean bitterdry finish. I want to re-rate it soon, at the Birrificio brewpub!
