Panil Divina

Brewed by Panil Birra Artigianale - Birrificio Torrechiara
Style: Lambic - Unblended
Torrechiara-Parma, Italy

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head. Light acidic aroma of fruits, wood and peaches. Fruity flavour of burnt plastic with acidic notes and notes of wood. Tart finish.

0.375 l bottle. Hazy yellow color. Very fizzy but head fades quickly. Sweet and sour aroma with grapefruit, strawberry and plastic. The flavor is also sweet and sour with tart fruitiness, grapefruit, strawberry and plastic. Nice soft acidity but unfortunately the medicinal plastic note messes up otherwise excellent beer.

Hazy, golden, really special one! Not really a lambic, but something different: really fruity with little sweetness (most of all agrumes), citric with moderate sourness and a bit yeasty. Should be really interesting to age...

Very special. Hazy, golden, white head that does not linger. Smells like marzipan. Taste is fruty, citric and acidic (though not to the extent that some other lambics) with more marzipan. Quite unusual really.

<i>Bottled at Bruxellensis</i> Hazy, blond body. Off-white, creamy head. Soury, aroma of citrus/oranges. Nice, well balanced aroma. Moderately sour, lightly sweet flavour (again fruity of citrus (orange/grapefruit) and grapes). Great, refreshing beer, but not too sour.

Bottled at Bruxellensis. Hazy yellow color. Nose was tart and lemony, lightly musty, with an odd floral-herbal tinge to it. Tastes tart, lemon-zesty. Still there’s that herbal edge and a slight bitterness that don’t fit the picture somehow. Nice, interesting and surprisingly easy-drinking though.

Stupendously huge, fne, off-white head over light hazy yellow beer. Blackcurrant leaf, valerian, very outspoken touch of mint. Very fresh smelling (lemon rind). Lemony taste, with a spicy flavour on the palate. Very slight Bretty. Very sparkling, light body, but falling a bit dead flavourwise at the end. This is a " cousin Germain " of Isabelle Proximus. It seems all the plambics of the world are evolving in this direction. This is the first batch, consequent batches being pretty different! Mille grazie, Monica & Davide!

375 ml bottle. Big fluffy white head, mostly diminishing. Cloudy straw-yellow. Aroma of sour green apples, strawberries and mouldy cellar. Fruit-flavored; tart, acidulous, sweet and sour. Quite rounded, actually. A fresh grassy bitterness is lurking under. Spicy tones. Filling. Nice tart, fruity-acidic ending. I like it a lot.
