I prefer the Italian name as opposed to the Anglicised English version of the Redhead. I know what a puttane is and wonder if this is what the San Marinans think of redheads. Anyway, an interesting beer in that it has a good presence in the glass despite a rocky head that soon dissipates. The aromas are all over the shop a bit with definite malt and stonefruit backed up with a brett like funk in the background. There is enough in this beer to interest anyone I would think and while it doesn’t charm me all the way to rating her with a big score this putena is well rounded enough to make me think I could try her again when I am feeling a little like some variety in life.

Nov 4, 2009 Bottle sampled in Nov 2008: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a spotty lacing light tan head. Has a lightly sweet caramel toffee nose with a hint of noble hops. Starts semi-sweet and doughy with a touch of light fruits before a thinner, toasty bready finish. Could use a little more body, but still fairly authentic.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle from Wine and Cheese. Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Very heavy, fruity aroma. Over caramel or toffee. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is almost woody, with fruit and caramel. Maybe nutty rather than woody. The taste is unique. Suggests fresh apple juice to an extent. Finishes towards dry. Very interesting.

Sep 2, 2009 This flippy topped bottled brew from a rating party at Patrick’s poured a small sized head of foamy with a frothy top white colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a opaque brown colored body. The aroma was dirty sock and grassy. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The thin flavor contained notes of malt and mild hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Aug 30, 2009 Bottle shared with the guys at the Inglorious Emergency Tasting. Clear reddish amber with wispy offwhite head. Nose of roses that follows in the flavor, but with big malty raisin and some molassis. Slightly peppery finish. My favorite brewery so far.
