33 cL bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild mouldy and oxidised. Flat malty, light honet accent. Dry bitter and light malty finish.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Aroma of fruits, spice, yeast, sweetness. A bit stale. Flavour of ripe fruits, sweetness, yeast and light spice. Medium bodied. Fruity and light grapy end.

Bottled. A slightly hazy dark golden beer with a thin bubbly beige head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit, as well as medium notes of alcohol, and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with with notes of alcohol, malt, and spices - can’t but names to them, leading to a dry spicy and alcoholic finish. Not that crazy about it. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

As it sister La Luppolosa 2008, this bottle as well is a gusher; it pours therefore a muddy deep blond color with floating particles; because of the high carbonation there is a thin persistent head. The aroma is pungent, herbal (heather) and spicy (juniper), beyond the acceptable. The body is less strong than expected; there is some malt flavor, lightly spicy (coriander and juniper) and very lightly herbal; low bitterness and quite evident alcohol presence. Confused.

Cloudy yellow with a lasting white head. Aroma is floral with citrus, and some fruity yeast. Sweet, yeasty flavour with citrus notes.
