A Christmas gift; purchased from an Italian market. Very nice bottle. Pours a copper color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of honey and floral notes. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter at the finish.

Honey Amber Ale.
Reddish color, a lot of foam.
The smell is strongly honeyed. Too much.
And again, even more in the taste. Too much honey. You can't feel anything else.
The aftertaste is relatively short.
Difficult to judge, just honey. And it is chestnut honey.

330ml squat, flared bottle. Made with chestnut honey (got to get me some of that, given the time of year), and like its brethren, raw cane sugar.
This beer pours a hazy, medium copper amber colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some splattered Nessie-silhouette lace in places around the glass as things readily recede.
It smells of biscuity, bready caramel malt, oily, earthy nuts, semi-sweet field honey, a bit of chalky candy sugar (very much like those overwrought 'rocket' Hallowe'en candies), and some herbal, floral, and well-perfumed hops. The taste is much the same - grainy, lightly crackery pale and caramel malt, a blended nutty honey character, gritty candy sugar, and leafy, earthy, and still headily perfumed hops.
The bubbles are fairly restrained, just a merely adequate support job being pulled there, the body on the lee side of proper medium weight, and plainly smooth, nothing really of note occurring otherwise. It finishes off-dry, that nutty, almost smokey honey character surprising me yet with its unique and pleasing essence.
Good stuff, overall, the subtly of the stereotypical Italian artisan evident, even for 'la birra', especially when they get to employ some tried and true local produce in the mix - chestnuts are famous for their late autumn ubiquity across Italy. Ergo, take some of the associated honey, and make, for all intents and purposes, an Italian Honey Amber Ale, and call it something very American-sounding. Works for me.
