fiulijn (5880), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jan 20, 2008 Bottle, random restaurant in Mira (Venezia) Cloudy blond color, with floating particles. Citrusy aroma, soapy. Medium body strength, dry mouthfeel, light malt flavor; a bit soapy and spicy; the final (well bitter) is better than the rest. Mediocre. They don’t say anything on the label but I bet there is some additional ingredient in it.
I learnt a few days later, at the brewery, that this beer is brewed with coriander and orange peel. JorisPPattyn (4493), Antwerpen, Belgium Dec 19, 2006 Very good yellow head; clear orange beer. Bit rubbery, hint of coriander, bready, pepper in the nose. Slightly bitterish taste, hint at coriander, and perfumey citrus; ends on toasted malts. Medium body, grist slickness, long fading taste. Very acceptable spiced beer.
