Opificio Birrario s.s. “Brama”
,33l brown glass bottle, “Da consumarsi preferibilimente entro: 07/20 Lotto 210819”
€3,50 at the brewery on 30 November 2019
Notes via stream of consciousness: This is an interesting beer, as it seems are all of the beers from Opificio Birrario. It’s not filtered and refermented in the bottle for a natural carbonation, and of course, not pasteurized. It’s a hazy deep golden in color beneath a full head of off-white foam that unfortunately drops rather quickly. The head retention and lacing could be better, but at least it’s better than average. The aroma is fairly bright with notes of sweetish malt, soft orchard fruit, a hint of orange, and a delicate earthiness. I’ve listed this as a Belgian-style witbier because it’s labeled as a “blanche”, and does have some orange and mild earthy or woody spiciness to it, but I don’t know that they’ve used Belgian yeast for it. There may be a hint of banana to it within the fruitiness but it’s hard to tell, it doesn’t stand out, and the other phenols that I usually find in Belgian yeast aren’t there. So, who knows? They do make a Belgian-style amber ale so it could be Belgian yeast but perhaps fermented a little cooler than usual. Anyway, the flavor follows the aroma as usual but with a bit more wheatiness to it, and a delicate kind of herbal & floral character added in. There’s also an occasional note of lemon tagging along with the orange, and if you look for it you can find the woody spiciness of coriander, but it’ll appear in the finish anyway. A mild bitterness balances it and it finishes mostly dry with some wheaty malt, more of the herbal & floral character, and a light dusting of woody spiciness lingering gently. In the mouth it’s medium to medium-light in body, gently effervescent, and then smooth with a very fine-bubbled moderate carbonation. I’ve been impressed with the lively freshness and beautiful floral character found in every beer that I’ve had from this brewery and this one is no exception. They’re doing something special and none of their beers should be missed.
