Piccolo Birrificio Seson

In short: A fruity and very herbal Saison. Very soft and pleasant to drink. Nice but unremarkable
How: Bottle 750ml. Consumed (probably fresh) a few weeks after receiving it from Solan. Thanks a lot Alan
The look: Cloudy dark blonde topped by a medium off-white head with low retention
In long: Pleasant tangy nose with also floral and herbal notes. Taste is soft. Malts taste like dry straw. Rather fruity but with a little tiny bit of a whole lot of fruits (apples, pineapples, bananas, citrus, mangos, apricots, more…). Flavour of flower nectar. Spicy notes of corriander and friends. Strong herbal character that includes basil, fine herbs and such. The beer does feel rather dry but the dryness sensation seems to be coming more from the dry herbal character than from the actual attenuation. Fruity bitterness. The body is lean and the carbonation level is a bit too low. Nothing spectacular but overall a pretty decent smooth beer. Good job Tony! And I’m pretty sure I’m at least partially right with that last sentence.

As Sesonette, from the Beer8 in Genoa, shared with heavy and ogivlado.
Big thick white head, went away at a medium pace, murky golden body.
Sweet malty nose, heavy, yeasty agrumey notes. Sweet malty yeasty agrumey taste (surprise surprise), the dominating agrumey notes are quite pleasant actually and this ends up being quite nice and balanced. Bitter hoppy aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy dark orange color with a huge foamy white head that settles into a lasting lacing. Spicy and floral aroma with some citrus fruit as well as a crisp apple and pear presence. Very quaffable if not slightly watered down with a flowery, bitter hop flavor with hints of apple, pear, banana bread and a lingering fruity and yeasty aftertaste

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin off white head - very lightly carbonated. The aroma has notes of malt and citrus and some yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit, malt, caramel, yeast, and a bit of phenol, leading to a dry yeasty finish.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of fruit, yeast, light spices, pepper, slight coriander, slight grass, paper, and a hint of citrus. Poured amber/apple juice in color with a large, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Moderately cloudy. Sparkling. Full of medium-sized particles throughout. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of yeast, light fruits, spices, juniper, chinotto, slight nectar, and paper. Light to medium body. Lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Yeasty, spiced, finish is dry.

Flat pour. Beige-yellow colour. No real nose, light herbs maybe. Woody, grapey, herbal taste. Flat but refreshing. Moderate herbal finish.

Pours a cloudy dull orange with a brief loose-bubbled head. Aroma of pear and dried turkish apricot. Saisonish, notes of quince and tangy chinotto, but overall quite mild. A bit of horse-blanket, but not much. Complex finish - needs a touch more citrus to really bring out the chinotto. Thin body with decent carbonation. Interesting and complex but watery and thin and a bit lacking.

Gold with slight haze and no head. Harsh phenolic aroma is strange and reminiscent of malt liquor. Redeeming qualities include a slight citrus bitterness. Juicy body with low carbonation. Tastes much better than it smells, and has a nice dry finish and a good grainy character and ended up liking it alright.
