COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with wheat, durum, barley, oat, red pepper, coriander and bitter orange rind.
L’ultima nata al birrificio, la "vera" birra della Val d’Orcia. L’intento di creare un prodotto unico, strettamente legato al nostro fantastico territorio ci ha portato alla PVK. Caratteristica principale l’uso dei cereali tipici della Val d’Orcia, grano tenero, grano duro, orzo e avena, tutti non maltati con una aggiunta, a fine bollitura, di spezie quali pepe rosa, coriandolo e scorza di arancia amara. Fresca, poco alcolica, molto beverina e profumatissima, nel complesso una birra perfettamente equilibrata. Rifermentata in bottiglia Alc. 4,5% in Vol.

The bottle is 3 years old
It pours yellow, cloudy, flat, without head. The aroma gains some light acidity that is pleasant. The body is light, with some honeyish flavor, and mild lemony acidity. Refreshing.

probstblueribbon (1980) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 6, 2011
750 ml bottle shared by GRM (merci!) at Mike’s, served cold in a tulip glass. 20NO11. MASSIVE GUSH.

App.: Milky orange-yellow with a frail white head. Aroma: Decent funk, citrus, bitter herbs, some faint esters, biscuit malts, yeast, nice enough. Palate: Medium body, fairly lively effervescence. Flav.: Nice funk and bitter herbs, juicy citrus, esters, biscuit, yeast, nice; dry with decent bitterness and an odd bite in the back of the throat.

I liked it. We all suspected some level of infection. Would be interesting to try a fresh, “healthy” bottle...

Wolfbass (589) - Firenze, ITALY - JUL 24, 2011
Il colore è un bel dorato con una velata schiuma bianca. Al naso risultano tutte le sue peculiarità, spezie e frutta si fanno sentire deliziosamente. In bocca poi è notevole, morbida, delicata con un finale tra l’amaro e l’acidulo. Molto beverina
