COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Si narra che alla Selva vivesse un orribile drago Cifero Serpento, che uccideva uomini e bestiame. Le famiglie più potenti del luogo, non riuscendo ad ucciderlo, si rivolsero al Mago Merlino di Arcidosso che convocò il cavalier Giorgio che finalmente sconfisse il Drago. Questa birra corpose e con sentore di torba ad affumicato, ricorda il Drago delle Selva, il cui osso della mandibola è tuttoggi conservato nel convento della Selva.

Hazy amber color with small head. Watery palate with some licorice and citrus. Weak smokeness IMO.

Verre de dégustation, provenant d’une bouteille de 750 ml avec bouchon de liège, au Mondial de la Bière 2011 (Montréal, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur de fumée et de sucre avec une pointe d’acidité. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée voilée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de fumée avec une pointe fruitée et acide. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement vineuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de fumée et de sucrée en arrière goût. (Rating #3740)

Lubiere (8243) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 24, 2011
A hazed amber ale with a thin white head. A sweaty lactic aroma with wood extract. In mouth, an acidic woody malt, rather sweet, short in mouth, interesting, but overall, something is wrong here. Bottle at Mondial 2011, June 10 2011.

rauchbierlover (450) - Roma, ITALY - JUN 2, 2011
on tap @IBF Rome. Smoked beer, but so different from the usual Oberfranken taste. Aroma of scamorza rather than bacon. I would drink it more and more in a day for it is really easy-drinking.

ReAle (120) - Rome, ITALY - OCT 23, 2010
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2011 Bottle, present for my name-day. I was a little bit disappointed, I expected something different, stronger and better definited. A decent smoked one, no more.

LordCorkscrew (1774) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - JUN 14, 2010
Ottima rauch saporosa senza essere troppo pesante, la storiella del drago è divertente ma ci ho pensato ora al collegamento drago/fuoco/fumé; bella lì. Tra le migliori rauch italiane.

marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - JUN 14, 2010
Bevuta in bottiglia: versa color giallo torbido, con un aroma affumicato e un gusto amarognolo davvero gradevole. Molto buona, una delle migliori smoked assaggiate

Bottle from tutta Birra Milan. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy and smoked aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average finish. Watery palate. Too expensive.
