FatPhil (6216) - Tallinn, - FEB 7, 2010
Draught (Bir & Fud, Rome)
Fresh crisp hoppy, peachy, and belgian ale, Some freezer ice and crisp hoppy retronasals. More an IPA by my taste - crisp and pleasantly biting - balances my fatty platter of sausage/speck/lardo brilliantly. The aroma gets fruitier and fruitier as it warms, and the taste more honey-ey. Never loses its bite.

Bottle. Poured clear yellow color with medium to large white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium to heavy citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Complex drinkable brew.

Wolfbass (589) - Firenze, ITALY - DEC 2, 2011
Trovata davvero in forma strepitosa, dal colore ambrato con schiuma compatta e persistente. Aroma incantevole, tra il fruttato, l’ebaceo e l’agrumato. Anche in bocca ottima, rimane sempre molto godibile e pulita fino a fine corsa.

Cipressaia (53) - ITALY - SEP 13, 2011
Indiscutibilmente una birra originale, però all’atto pratico non se ne sentiva la necessità. Francamente superflua.

marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - JUN 20, 2011
Bevuta a Pasturana 2011, giusto un assaggio; ambrata, ben caramellata, e con il solito "rustego" toscano.
