| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 10, 2005 A beer rare to find as the brewery will probably close; brought by Laurent Mousson Hazy copper color; rocky head. Very nice hoppy (fruity) aroma, but sour as well (infection?). Good body, most of all with good aromatic hopping. But the infections lowers a bit its evaluation. Bov (5495), Bienne, Switzerland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 13, 2004 hazy orange colour, big creamy head with a nice lacing, strong apricoty hoppiness, a bit perfumy and floral, medium-bodied, a light sourness followed by a robust bitterness, dry long and very bitter fruity finish - unfortunately slightly infected (thanks to Laurent Mousson for this one) duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2004 Bottle. Aroma is hoppy, with some noticable alcohol. Flavour his quite hoppy, typical aromatic hop flavours of pine, lychee. The malts a slightly doughy i thought, and there is some noticable alcohol in the finish, slightly flat mouthfeel. Nice hoppy flavour though, and definitely the best Italian beer i’ve had so far. chriso (4851), London, Greater London, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2004 Having been introduced to the brewer, Michael Murphy - an American living and working in Rome, we had to give this a go. I can confidently say that this leaps straight in as my number one Italian beer, not that the opposition is up to much. Clearly American in style, it has typical resinous hops in the aroma and more fruity hops on the palate, with some balancing malt. A very good effort. My only minor criticism (and this could apply to many US style beers) is that the hopping imparts a rather sticky, sweetish character compared to the crisper bitterness that us Brits are used to. Here’s wishing Michael every success with his venture. Bottled at GBBF 2004.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2004 Bottle. GBBF 2004. A real treat; Duff, Chris_O and myself were introduced to the brewer Michael Murphy by either Martin Kubert or Ungstrup - can’t remember which . Michael is an American living in Rome and brewing American type beers although it appears from the website he may be moving on in a month or so. The beer has a golden brown colour and a very sweet hoppy aroma. There is a lot going on: Sweet hops, parma violets by the handful caramel syrup etc. It is quite thick and very tasty. A good beer. I did have a mouthful of the stronger beer the next day. That was also very good.
