Poured a cloudy orange with a good bit of carbonation and a nice head. The beer smelled fruity, with a strong citrus/orange presence. The beer was flavorful and fruity with some spicy, earthy notes. There is just a small hop presence that balances out the fruitiness. The beer has a champagne quality to it in its carbonation and flavor. Excellent.

33cl, from the brewery, complex brew, yet easy to drink, not balanced, clear, rocky head, nice brew

Bottiglia da 75cl comprata dal mio fruttivendolo in via Maddalena, bevuta con 3 amici oggi. Aroma delicato, sapore un po’ acidino, ma non spiacevole.

From a six beer Petrus sampler- another free gift complements of my employer (The Party Source.) Poured into my Petrus tulip, this had a mid-sized, soft, creamy head and a darkish bronze to gold body. I admit I was a bit hasty with the pour, and didn’t retain any yeast. This definitely made the beer much darker, a bit tart, and winey- unusual for a blonde. Underneath the earthy, funky yeast complexities, the normal characteristics were there: a bright, fresh aroma, full of vanilla, saffron, honey and very sweet Belgian candi sugar. Quite enticing, with a little citrussy sparkling lemon-ade note as well. The taste is immediate fresh citrus fruit, with very little carbonation and a soft, sticky mouthfeel. There is little dryness and this actually finishes quite sweet, with a light caramel malt flavor and a lingering honey character. Interesing taste, but just a little off..

pale yellow-golden and hazy with a white foamy head. Very well balanced and pleasant. richly hopped and spiced. Very good
