Panil Barriquée (Sour) (European Version)

Bottle. Mahogony beer with no head. Rich malt aroma with dark fruit and a nice tartness. Dark fruit and tart flavor that’s lightly sour with rich malt and oak. Medium body. Oak and rich malt linger with dark fruit and tartness.

Un miracolo di Panil: la barriquée sour è uno splendido gioiello acido, direi la migliore birra acida che si produca intenzionalmente in Italia.

Bottle from beermerchants.com. Pours a hazel-brown colour. Head disappears quickly leaving a little residue behind. Acidic aromas of ripened fruit, sour cherries, oak. Flavours of balsamic vinegar, sour cherries, some citrus in there too.Finishes with a gentle acidity and a slight sweetness. Has a Rodenbach Grand Cru feel about it albeit without as much sweetness. This one’s definately a grower.

Acidic aroma with notes of fruit and sweet malt. Acidic flavour with notes of fruit. Dry bitterness.

Cloudy brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of wood, vinergar, fruit, cellar and barnyard. Sweet but tart fruity flavour with leather notes

Bottled 75cl. Courtesy of Daniele. It pours a beautiful murky brown beer with a nicely lasting beige head. Sour nose with oak, cherries, balsamic vinegar, blackberry, cork and apple showing up. Sour taste with quite a strong oak characteristic. Cherries, apple and balsamic vinegar appearing again. Nice lacework. Some licorice sneaking in the finish which is dry and very pleasant. Thanks a lot Daniele!

Colore rosso scuro,aspetto direi simile a vino,schiuma densa.Aroma molto complesso da definire,direi di more,vino e leggermente speziato.Sapore forte,alcoolico con note di frutti di bosco e lievemente acidulo.Una birra che definire ottima è riduttivo.
