May 9, 2008
Bought at Off License, a great specialty beer shop in Rome. Rich golden color, with a full, creamy head. Very hoppy nose, showing character that can be described as lemony, herbaceous and a bit woodsy. Flavor is very balanced, hop accented, with the lemon, herb, citrus thing continuing. A very solid hoppy ale.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. A creamy white lasting head over a medium bodied clear orange hoppy ale. Nose got the right typical features of an I.p.A. with a slight touch of citrusy and a light hint of herbaceous creating a nice whole, with a bit of maltiness too. Starts with some fruitiness leading to a bitter, resinous end with a medium aftertaste.

Jun 2, 2008 Draught at Salone della Birra Artigianale e di Qualitą 2008, Milan
With Chinook and Amarillo hops
Cloudy golden color; big head. It has a very nice hoppy aroma, not fruity, but with leaves and a lot of resins, delicate. The body is average, less strong than expected, with good caramel and toffee flavor, but getting drier at the end, probably for the strong hop resins, giving a late light astringency too. Very long final of American hops. Im missing some body and malt here, but good hop, almost honeyish. Very pleasant.
