Al caffè Gambrinus (?) a Pisa, nella via che porta alla stazione: l’ultima birretta prima di tornare a casa qualche tempo fa. Mi sono ricordato il nome per la simpatica storiella che si trova sulla bottiglia "originally only brewed for the brewery directors. Now brewed especially for YOU" o qualcosa di simile; in realtà non si distingue per particolare incisività organolettica, si beve benino, non ha particolari problemi, ma non è neppure troppo interessante. Nella media delle birre quiete di Wells&Youngs, anzi forse un goccino sotto

Can, 4.8%. Mild grassy hop aroma. Clear golden colour. Stable plasticky off-white head. The flavour has a bit of the same hop as the aroma, not so interesting, though.

Bottle - Pours a slightly hazy amber with an off white head. Citrus aroma, slightly metallic. Cereal malt flavour up front, some citrus and a dry bitter finish which lingers nicely. Light carbonation and a reasonable amount of lacing.

Sweet malty aroma. Amber with largish off-white lasting head. Flavour is malt with caramel note and hops. Noticeable yeast flavour, which distracts from otherwise very good balance. Medium body. Finishes with sligthly coppery bitterness. Bread and onions aftertaste. Shame about that yeast...

Can, bought @ Irma, Industriens Hus, Cph.
Pours clear amber with a smallish, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has light fruit (oranges, grapefruit), caramel, a touch citrusy. Medium to high carbonation, quite thin. Flavour is limited, some sweet caramel, light piney bitterness. But really nothing spectacular...
