Gushing 330ml dark green bottle purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne.

Pours a very hazy orange-amber, slightly burnished with a remarkably small head given the gush. Minimal lacing, pretty light body with low retention. Looks okay, but not much better than that.

Nose is slightly spicy, with a hint of clovey orange, and some true hop character. Underlying grainy malt gives it some basis, but some of the spice characters do dominate a little. It's a bit strange.

Taste is light-bodied with minimal sweetness on the front, leaving the back open to a fair assault from those spice and bitter hop notes. Very dry finish, slightly chalky and with a hint of aspirin. The bite at the back actually harms the drinkability a little bit, but it has a bit more true character than the other dell'Eremo beers I've had.

Overall, it's okay, and more aggressive than I expected, but this doesn't make it all that drinkable, which is probably the key characteristic for a beer.
