Birrificio Italiano Pale Ale

abrata quasi piatta aroma di luppolo molto beverina discreta sechezza una vera bitter da bere più volte

An experiment available at the brewpub in March 2008, hoping to see it soon again; cask (?)
Hazy copper color, with a persistent small head. Hoppy aroma, grassy, some manure, deep and delicate, more British than American; it must be one of the hoppiest in Italy, still it has its balance. Good body, with a powerful toffee and caramel flavor, round mouthfeel in the beginning, maybe drier later, when an extreme bitterness kicks in, grassy and with dry and astringent resins. The final is infinite; more satisfying than most Real English Ales. Surprise.
