Sicilian Pale Ale
Birrificio Bruno Ribadi

MARCH 2025.
It is produced with ancient Perciasacchi wheat (typical of the Madonie area, in Sicily, the ancient Perciasacchi wheat contains a very low glycemic index, a very elastic gluten alloy that makes it suitable for consumption even by those predisposed to intolerances, although not by celiacs, but anyone who wants to prevent celiac disease. Often improperly compared to Khamut flour, unlike the latter, the ancient Perciasacchi wheat flour is clearly better from a nutritional point of view and above all, for the absence of mycotoxins impossible to develop in Perciasacchi), Sicilian citrus peels, Sumac berries (a shrub widespread in Sicily and southern Africa) and Pink pepper berries.
A very easy Pale Ale, easy to drink, with light aromas and flavors (floral and citrus notes), with a dry finish... perfect to accompany an arancino.
Beer for specific pairing, to drink alone would give less satisfaction than the pairing with the specialty of the place that had it specially produced.
So, the character was not marked to accompany the taste of the food without covering it.

Had this while in Sicily. Pours a light orange with a nice hop bitterness. A very good alternative to the Italian macro brands.

 

Look: Cloudy, orange colour
Smell: malty odour, touch of orange blossom
Taste: marmalade, citrus, lemon, sweet caramel
Feel: smooth nice blend of sweet and sour
Overall: this is a nice beer, the best I had in sicily
This beer is made with orange rind so there's a lot of citrus flavour in it.
