Shared 750 ml bottle. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, white head. Both aroma and flavour has hints of honey, but the beer is not very sweet. Also spicy saison yeast and decent bittering hops.

Golden hazy color with a huge thick head that don’t want to go away and leaves strong laces.
Aroma with note of bread, oranges, lemon, yellow fruits and chalked yeast.
Flavor with notes of hay, oranges, lemon drops, floral and herbaceous hops, lots of chalked yeast and yellow fruits, spices and sugar cubes. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Light body with good somewhat effervescent carbonation.
Hoppy and well executed Belgian Blond Ale with yellow and herbal notes.

Very poor.
Expecting a lot more from an artisanal beer, even in Italy.
That’s not a dig, as such, but the nation is not renowned for its beer. Even so, there are exceptions in this fine country.
This is not one of them.
Waste of money.

Not bad but it's hard to categorize as a Belgian Ale as some have. Definitely citrus base with yeasty after tones that are somewhat offensive. First taste and fell are refreshing but less than pleasant after taste leaves something to be desired.

Beer of a hazy golden color and a medium size foam.
Smell is full of citrus and just a bit yeasty. Taste is also full of citrus, specially limon and grapefruit, it's also a bit hoppy and gets really acid after a short time.
Light body, high carbonation and acidity makes it feel a bit like a soda; fortunately, the beer has also a nice bitterness.
