Bottiglia da 75 al Cantinotto di Camogli; normalissima e senza pretese, mi aspetto più carattere da una birra artigianale

Buona ale stile inglese ha un bell’aroma di luppoli però nel sapore manca un po’ di profondità, senza essere d’altro canto estremamente beverina...ci ha intrattenuti ma non possiamo dire di averla adorata.

Bottled. A light golden beer with sediment floating around under an off-white head. The aroma is sweet citrusy combined with light notes of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of citrus, leading to a dry bitter finish. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with floating impurities and an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and acidic citrus. Medium body with yeast, fruit and astringent phenols in the finish. 290508

Good yellowish tinted head over hazy yellow-orangeish beer with greenish shine. Very fruity & flowery nose, fresh hops and some very fine malts. In fact, very subtle and pleasing nose. Bitterish-fruity taste, a bit wry as not-quite-ripe fruit, rhubarb - without the characteristic sourness. Here the acidity is near all CO², as it is quite spritzy. Again flowery, maybe veggie notes. Good balance. Refreshing, reasonable body for such a light beer. Quite pleasing, surprising brew. A good buy, this one, if fairly pricey!

Unclear medium yellow color with a small, fizzy - virtually none, virtually none lancing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is light malty, toasted, glue. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (300508)

[Italian Blind tasting @ yespr, Bottle 24#] Hazy golden with tiny white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity and wheaty notes. Sweet fruity flavor with coriander, wheat and yeasty notes.

Blind tasting @ Yespr. Yellow-golden with a rather weak aroma of coriander, yeast and light citrus. The flavour is slightly dry, and it has sweetness, notes of coriander, yeast and light oranges. It’s OK, but also very anonymous.

Bottle#24: 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange to yellow with a lacing white head. Light orange fruity aroma with a light yeasty note. Flavour is mild metallic and yeasty with a mild caramel malt note. Again another unsexy beer, not bad - just boring. Light bitter and dry finish.

Cloudy blond color. I guess that I’m in front of a very bland hefeweizen, with a light plastic touch and some strong yeast in the final.
