Bruttissima: per farle fare un poco di schiuma bisogna versarla in verticale a 15cm di distanza dal bicchiere, e comunque mentre uno sta guardando sparisce in un baleno. Aroma giusto giusto interessante con miele strabordante ma toni di frutta sciroppata (pesca, prugne cotte) e boh ci sento qualcosa tipo ciclamino. Ma il sapore banalissimo, sembra la Palm piu dolce (ancora) e forse un pochino piu fragrante, ma niente di che...

Poured a golden color with a thin off-white head. Aroma was really interesting. First it smelled like feet, but in a good way. Then it smelled like dried apricots, then I kept catching whiffs of biscuit and fruit and marmalade. I would have been happy just smelling this beer. The flavor unfortunately was a little less interesting. Malty, bready, a little fruit. Nothing spectacular. Decent beer, but man it smelled good.

Good malt flavors going on here mostly bread and sweet notes. It seemed to be a little thin for me. An OK beer that was nothing special.

Thanks to Eyedrinkale. Poured a hazed gold with an off white head. The aroma of sweet fruity malt and a light yeasty spice. Toasty and fruity malt and a mild spice finish. The finish had some length. A light to medium body.

Swingtop-bottle 0,5ltr bought it in Italy: An San Marino version of an Belgian ale, hazy orange colour and have some sweet taste.

If the bottle is 500 ml, why is the Amarcord glass about 25 cl? Anyway, the white head holds up over the orange/gold body. Plenty malty and if I didnt know better, would think this was a bock. No real Belgian yeast spiciness. Some honey, vanilla and sweet grains. Orange/tangerine in the aroma. Why is it so sweet?

Swing-top bottle - One of the regulars at our tastings brought this back with him on a recent trip to Italy. Usually the beers he brings back are pretty average at best, but this was a nice one actually. The beer pours out a dark golden/amber color with a fairly small sized head. Weak caramel, a nice sweet fruit character with a touch of hops, honey and spices. The flavor had a very subtle sourness about it, almost like it wasn’t supposed to be there but it worked. Strong malts, toffee, honey with a very fruity finish. Not bad!

Tasted at the May Northern California Beer Tasting. This Belgian ale poured a pale gold color from a swing top bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet with a hint of tartness. A medium to light bodied ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal. There is some tartness and maybe a little funk here as well. Interesting beer. A very drinkable beer, light and refreshing. Mouthfeel is full. The finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

At the NorCal tasting, Decent looking, pale gold color with effervescence. Nose is tart and fruity, as is the front flavor. Mid palate it turns a bit sweet and finishes the same. Interesting beer.

Bottle Swing-top: Poured a bubbly clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is ripe and wheat. Taste is corn and wheat with sweetness.
