Panil Enhanced

Brewed by Panil Birra Artigianale - Birrificio Torrechiara
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Torrechiara-Parma, Italy

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

My Bottom Line:
This fluffy Belgian-style Strong Ale seduces with its starfruit citrus, bready yeast and comfortably effervescent mouthfeel, creating a marvelously classy sipper.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A thick sheet of foam paints fine lacing atop the cloudy beige blond.
-The superbly integrated fruitiness is also reminiscent of gooseberries and apple skins.
-Alcohol is really not apparent.
-The flavor profile is perfectly balanced and the finish nicely dry.
-A little more cereal character and this would be world-class, imho.
-The hop personality is not as outgoing in the flavor profile as it is in the aroma.
