reebtogi (3388) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 7, 2011
330mL bottle listed at 5.4%ABV poured a nice amber color with 3 fingers of white head that settled to some fine lacing. A very pleasant hoppy aroma. Taste is mostly floral and citrus hoppy bitterness with some underlying malt sweetness. This is a very well balanced beer that gets my two thumbs up. A world class beer for sure.

wyzzywyz22 (1644) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - FEB 28, 2011
Draught@BQ, Via Losanna, Milan. A vivid copper coloured beer with a smallish tan head. Enticing hop laden aroma with some nice fruity notes protruding. Once more the flavour was robustly hopped, with some balancing sweet malts that had an earthy quality and a hint of spice. Quite full bodied. Lingering bitter finish that satisfied. A really characterful and tasty take on the style.

On tap at local taphouse. Pours an orange copper with a fluffy white head. Aromas of apricot, peach and citrus. Malt driven with fruity notes at the back end. Different to any other APA that I’ve had. I like this a lot.

RichardGretton (4028) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 24, 2008
Bottle. Cloudy brown beer with a hopped, bitter and lightly roasted aroma. The flavour is roasted, bitter and slightly malty. Overall a good hopped and bitter beer.

JorisPPattyn (7363) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAR 2, 2008
Yellow-pistacchio head over bright red-amber beer; end of bottle cloudy. C-hops, very dry, bit of cookies, dried orange peel. Very well malt (caramel-,cookie-)backed USA hops for a good IPA. EXCELLENT balance. Very slightly burning MF, slick, well-bodied. It is rare to find such a balanced IPA. For an Italian one, this is an instant classic.
