La Trippolosa

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - hazy golden-orange colour with almost no foam; yeasty and grapefruity, fairly spicy; some initial sweetness followed by a tart acidity, lot of carbonation; very dry fruity finish - balanced; a good beer

Good, just off-white head over pale, greyish, slighly hazy yellow beer. Vanilla and the equivalent of astringency in the nose; maybe a touch of coriander and definitely white candy sugar. Surprisingly soft-sweet but with a very distinct citrus touch - like a very sweet grapefruit, pomelo or suchlike. It’s sweet, but very fine - reminding me of some of the Mortal’s beers; patisserie beer, delicate. Finishes a bit duller, however. Slick, falsely bodied and very good attenuation. Unfortunately, the flavours fade away too soon, leaving little or no aftertaste. No mistake, quite good beer. But, because of the origin, I’m missing... Humulus Lupulus...
Mille grazie to the Compagnia, who thought me worthy of their brainchild!
