A rarity and interesting story....
At Eataly Chicago's beer section (where American brews now outnumber Italians), I found this last bottle (with a Best By date from a month ago.) The brewer (translated as The Fox and The Hops) was not on BA and has three reviews only on RateBeer. From them, I find out this is brewed on the island of Sardinia and go to the brewer's website. Torraghettai is the best-seller of five brews in their lineup. The importer is Buon Gusto, here in Chicago. I know enough to pop the top.
It really doesn't Look different than an average BPA. It Smells as much of yeast as malt. While the yeast/malt interaction is fruity/lemony, the mid-palate lets the 37 IBU hops in and there is balance. This is a thin ale, but also finishes both dry and smooth. And the yeast-malt-hops balance makes garlicky food taste better (hence extra points.)
OA: Perhaps one step past home-brewing, craft-brewing is alive in a small town in Sardinia. And they knew how to preserve an effective yeast. Now if I could just find another bottle.
