3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Si presenta chiara e dorata con una schiuma alta e densa.
All’olfatto si presenta con note erbacee accentuate e frutta matura, con una presenza netta del lievito che lascia presagire un sapore altrettanto "lievitoso".
La prima sorsata invece rivela la complessa luppolatura mentre il lievito sparisce completamente.
Un’altra clamorosa assenza e’ quella delle bollicine, che si contano davvero con il contagocce lasciando quasi l’impressione di una birra dimenticata aperta in frigo.
Le note aromatiche sono diverse, dai fiori di campo agli agrumi e chiude con un amaro non particolarmente marcato che lascia una gradevole sensazione di equilibrio.
