What the heck is going on in Italy these days? Poured a very hazy apricot color. The aroma reminds me of those lavender scented soaps your grand-mother kept, you know, the ones that if you actually ised, got you yelled at? The floral notes are the dominant force, with an odd grainy aroma, with some spice and citrus notes coming on. The flavor is very floral, with a bracing and crisp bitterness that works on some level. Odd, to say the least.

(750ml bottle) Pours a hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of Gentian flowers, citrus, black pepper, and dustiness. Flavor of florals, biscuit, apricot, tea leaves, and various other herbs. Another interesting brew in Italian brewing.

Bottle, thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with some sediment floating around and white head. Aroma is very floral. Flavor of grapefruit with an interesting spice, also detecting a little orange? Has a light-medium body, high carbonation. It was allright...

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with brief, foamy, white head. Fruity, floral nose with herbs, caramel and fresh grass. Fruity, herbal taste with notes of flowers, spices and bitter-sweet hints of gentian lingering in the background. Surprisingly light body, fairly dry. Refreshing and nice with balanced notes of gentian.

Wow! Amazing yet subtle pepper and spice streaks throught the nose and palate. Good hop action too; pale ale-like in this respect. Ultra-clean build that could be accused of lacking a little stuffing.
