rondphoto	2.9 Archea Bock on tap @ Archea Brewing / Fierenze --- Clear medium dark amber, ivory head that quickly drops to a frothy rim, lace sheets. Taste is mild semi-sweet malt and caramel, light fizz, and light hops. The whole shebang is agreeable enough, but it is also mouth drying and heavy in the belly. A non-starter for me. Tuesday, June 14, 2016
rondphoto	3.1 Archea Pils on tap @ Archea Brewing / Fierenze --- Slightly hazy medium amber, bubbly while head that drops to a full cover, curtain of lace. Taste is citrusy caramel malt that has light fizz followed by light European hops. Simple, but very drinkable - one I would have again. Tuesday, June 14, 2016
rondphoto	3 Archea Hydra on tap @ Archea Brewing / Fierenze --- Hazy light malt color, white head that drops to a full cover, full lace curtain. Taste is straight light malt that has light carbonation, then fairly strong European hops. Hops move solidly through a long "dry your mouth" finish. No re-dos here. Tuesday, June 14, 2016
rondphoto	2.8 Archea Melyssa On tap @ Archea Brewing / Fierenze --- Lemony light malt color, white head that drops to a heavy rim, sheets of lace. Taste is malt with light fruity citrus, medium fizz, thin hops that persist in a long finish. A decent light brew, but probably wouldn’t drink again. Tuesday, June 14, 2016

lello4ever	3.3 Archea Hydra Dorato torbido con poca schiuma. Aroma un po’ dimesso, principalmente erbaceo. Molto. Meglio al palato con un buon amaro prolungato e persistente. Ipa ok. Saturday, November 28, 2015
romolime	3.4 Archea Hydra Buona ipa che si presenta con colore arancione, prevale ovviamente il sapore del luppolo, piacevole il retrogusto amaro che rimane in bocca Wednesday, October 14, 2015
