3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle for A Tutta Birra, Milan, in 2008
an experimental brew made before the better known Contessa IPA
Not only the bottle is old, but it has been shaken, so the beer pour a cloudy orange color, with a medium creamy head. The aroma shows at first some of the age, but then the nice fruity hops appear, not too strong. It has a medium body, with a good caramel flavor, probably a bit drier than it was one year ago; strong bitterness, with at best some bitter oranges, but it must have lost the freshness, and it pays it in the final. A pleasant beer anyway.
