Cloudy blond color. Light aroma, both fruity and soapy. Medium body, with a too high vegetables flavor and some sourness. And the hops are gone… This beer didn’t age well.

The above is the comment from the blind tasting. This beer has been brewed only once at the end of 2006 celebrating the 10 years of the Birrificio Italiano; as Agostino (the brewer) anticipated me last Christmas, unfortunately the beer didn’t age well, and that’s reflected in this notes. Well, next Christmas we will have a better one! This beer doesn’t change my opinion that the BI is the best brewery in Italy :D

Botella. Murky orange colour. Sour mouldy bit sweet aroma with some cress. Sour yeasty sweet flavour with some spice. Thanks Alex.

Beer #38 of the Mafia blindtasting, thanks to Alex for this rare beer!. 1L bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Raddish and acidic aroma, very strange. Flavour is acidic and spiced. Finish is dry and acidic. Terrible. No wonder the brewer wasn’t about this.
