Ambrata rossastra buona schiuma buona persitenza naso intenso fruttato speziato un po viniso un leggero terroso in bocca ritorna venire al naso anche con nota di caramello e mosto

(Bottled, 0.75l, BBE 11/2012) Hazy copper with a smallish, quickly descending head. Toffee-caramely malt, almonds, grapes and orange peel in the nose. Flavor is very caramely, quite sweet, bitter-almondy. Feels like a few degrees less than 8% ABV. Medium body, very easily drinkable. Quite featherweight for a Xmas brew, but clean, balanced and easy to drink.

Colore ambrato con schiuma bianca che svanisce in fretta. Aroma caramellato e leggermente alcolico. In bocca ha un buon corpo, principalmente dolciastra e finale un pò vinoso e abbastanza secco. Direi una birra molto tradizionale ma fatta, secondo me molto bene.
