3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Vintage 2008, batch 11/08, 3 years old
Beautiful light amber color, hazy; medium sized head, although there was a high pressure in the bottle. The aroma is interesting, a bit puckery; there is some malt, light fruitiness, very light herbs and cabbage. Lean body, but round mouthfeel; there is some residual sweetness that makes it pleasant to drink, with light malt flavor and sage; there is also a light fruity touch (peaches). Correct bitterness. Very well balanced and still fresh.

On tap @macche. Sweet with sage taste, it has a pleasant spicy taste. It seemed easy to drink to me despite its alcohol gradation which is not so low. No head with a bitter finish. Very good beer.

Montegioco continua a stupirmi. Birre originali ma fatte benissimo. Nel bicchiere si presenta ambrata tendente all’arancio. Poca schiuma poco persistente. Al naso subito floreale, speziata e con note di frutti rossi, soprattutto fragola. Al palato ingresso liscio con un successivo exploit abbastanza corposo di note calde dell’alcohol e dei frutti rossi per virare verso il finale in un amaro erbaceo. Quando si scalda si sente (almeno io l’ho sentito) il gusto e l’odore caratteristico del provolone piccante ( o comunque di qualcosa di formaggioso).

Tap at Open Baladin, Roma - 02/10/12.
Slightly hazy golden with no head.
A certain sourness to the nose, sour mango, peach and apricot.
Taste follows but the flavours aren’t quite as prominent as the nose.
Medium bodied with little carbonation leading to a slightly sour and fruity finish,

Bottle from Star Grocery, Berkeley. Pours dirty blonde with a nice beige head and a fruity aroma. There is a very spicy caramel malt flavor with some banana ester and a bitter finish. The sage works pretty well in this brew.

Cloudy amber beer. Soft to semi dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Wheaty malt with some orangey hop that doesn’t bite at all. A little herb bitterness underlying. Finishes soft and dry. Not bad.

Bottle. [thanks CCskou]
Pours clear amber with a nice, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is malty, light herbal, has some white peppers and a fine, light sweet caramel base. Medium carbonation, good dry and creamy palate. Flavour is rather sweet and malty, some caramel, light yeast and a fair herbal touch. Good dry and bitter finish. Okay.
