Birrificio Italiano Extra Hop

chiara buona schiuma persistente il profumoi non è intenso ma in bocca le note dolci del malto tipo miele d’acacia si bilanciano da una generosa luppolatura piuttosto persistente

Yet another fantastic pilsener offering from B.I. Great floral, not too hoppy despite the name, nose and crisp cleansing -- basically a slightly lighter, perhaps summerier, version of the world-class Tipopils.

On draught at the brewpub. Light cloudy, yellow colour with big, creamy, steady head, topped with a hopcone. Looks yummy indeed. Great modern style pils aroma with wood, cedar and flowers from Hallertauer Mittelfrûh I belive. Dry, crips mouthfeel with flowers and citrus. Good hoppy, almost salty finish. Hops speak here, not the malts. Great beer!

Draught @ Brewery tap, Birrificio Italiano, Lurago Marinone (CO), Italy. Wow what a pilsner .... Light unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, caramel, heavy hoppy, grass, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long long duration, and a very nice dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. THIS IS THE BEST TASTING PILSNER I HAVE TASTED - Well made Agostino. ;o)) (081107)

A brilliant gold under a perfect, creamy bright white head, with a Tettnanger whole cone on it. Nose is plenty of grassy, citric and even spicy notes. In the first two glasses i had malty inviting notes were clearly felt. After the third hoppiness starts to be a bit overwhelming, but certainly not boring. The bitter and quite aggressive hoppiness found the perfect marriage in mouth, with honey and bake malt’ contributions. A long and dry finish. I could clearly perceive hop taste in my mouth for about two hours after i’d left LurAgo. A great Pils indeed. ------------- I’ve drank 2007 version. Another great beer from Lurago. Should be better only if served in 1liter mug!!!
