Draught at The Manhattan, Milan, Italy. Clear amber colour with tiny white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with mild bitterness, some darkness and malt. Flavour darkish fruity hops, moderate bitterness with malty body. American style IPA. Good one.

Amber color with intense hop aroma, citrus like grapefruit and herbal. Full bodied with medium bitterness.

Really good refreshing beverage, nice flavour of hops and pine needles throughout. Enjoyable thirst quenching beer.

06/09/2011 330ml bottle. Ambrata, lievemente torbida, schiuma biancastra, abbastanza persistente. Aroma di luppolo con note fruttate ed erbacee, una punta metallica, per fortuna rapidamente svanita. In bocca è ottima, il luppolo la fa da padrone, la base di malto la equilibra alla perfezione, il finale è lungo e secco. Corpo medio-basso, appena "watery". Sarei curioso di riassaggiarla in condizioni perfette.

Bottle, 11C. Clear amber with a large off-white head. 4 Aroma of kumquats, grapefruit, biscuit. Creamy texture. Sweet caramel, peaches and biscuit with lots of citrus flavours, a little pine. Firmish bitterness struggles a little to emerge at the end, but there’s kumquat and pine there. There’s some interest in the malt side so the sweetness is not dull, but it does feel a little heavy in the mouth. Still, a fine beer.

A great IPA where grapefruity hoppiness penetrates the whole experience. Malts have a caramel bias. Appearance is almost clear copper with lacing. 75 cl bottle from brewery (also had some draught there).

750mL bottle (awesome cap), pours clear amber with a nice off white head and a big sweet pine/grapefruit nose with a hint of caramel. Pine and grass resinous notes dominate the flavour but i do get the caramel/biscuit also but only hints. Best Italian beer i have had yet.

Premesso che adoro a dismisura le america pale ale quasi piu’ delle ipa, devo dire che questa tra tutte le APA italiane e non sono tra tutte le APA assaggiate e’ la migliore, da fuori di testa! Aroma Intensissimo, colore ambrato appena torbido, con schiuma cremosa fine e non troppo persistente, sapore straluppoloso, retrogusto amaro e dolce allo stesso tempo e molto persistente! Un capolavoro!!!

Draft at Open Baladin. Cloudy brown color, beige ice cream cone head. Aroma of caramel and pine. Taste is very malty, nice balance. A cut above most pale ales.

Aroma: Citrus, malt, floral, fruits, bitter hops. Appearance: Dark yellow-amber. Taste: Medium bitterness. Palate: Medium body, well carbonated. Drinkable. Overall: 16/20.
