3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted as Claustrum/Ottavonano Zenit Whipped eggwhite head, huge, over veiled orange beer; textbook lace. Herbal nose, pale, sweetish malts, bit grassy and aromatic herbs/spices; orange/citrus. Peppery citrus, orangepeel, orangeconcentrate; some restsugars. Retronasal spicy-bitterish. Medium bodied, very slick, even oily; feels well-carbonated. If Claustrum beers display one typical Belgian trait, it’s mouthf’eel - these beers seem to be brewed more to MF, than to taste - typically Belgian. Mille grazie, Gianluca!
