500ml bottle - a brew apparently made on a Tuscan farm, as info was very hard to come by online for this one.
This beer pours a hazy, yet bright medium apricot amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves but a low berm of circumferential lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, some testy wheatiness, a muddled sugary pome fruitiness, further indistinct citrus rind, a musty and earthy spiciness, white wine lees, a faint estery yeastiness, and some plain weedy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some lesser crackery wheatiness, a free-range candi sugar thing, some apple-forward white vinous notes, a soft peach-led stone fruity character, and still understated earthy spice.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its barely-there frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, all fruity, grainy, and spicy.
Overall, this is an interesting and refreshing take on a typical Belgian ale via the auspices of an central Italian farming concern. Light (despite its 6 points of alcohol), and easy to drink, with enough going on to keep the purists more than satisfied, I would imagine.
