Lord_Corkscrew (596), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Sep 26, 2008 Bottiglia da 75cl divisa in quattro da Paola; a serata avanzata, quindi ne ho assaggiata davvero poca poca. Aroma e sapore dominati da delicati ma potenti sentori di luppolo; tuttavia la complessità si limita a questo e ci si ferma un po’ a chiedersi se sarebbe il caso di pretendere altro. fonefan (4850), Ulfborg, Denmark Aug 11, 2008 Bottle 75cl @ [ Mafioso Blind Tasting @ yespr, Bottle #04.] Unclear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, moderate hoppy, citrus, orange, light to moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (300508) evanrail (23), Prague, Czech Republic Aug 11, 2008 .75-liter bottle from A Tutta Birra, Milan. Light in body, long-lasting loose white head, wonderful spicy notes of clove and cinnamon under a fruity sweetness. (Below, barnyard and porcini scents.) Candied oranges, green grapes. Almost tarry in its aromatic depth, with a nicely bitter, generously hoppy finish. Cleansing sourness with a note of orange pekoe tea. A surprise stunner.
