MAY 2024. 44 can (6,50€ from the beershop fridge). It's a West Coast Double India Pale Ale with hops: Citra, Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade, Mosaic. Instead, Pils and Cara were chosen as malts.
Additionally, Brewmaster (Marco Valeriani) added a small amount of sugar to the recipe to accentuate the dryness of the German malts and allow the aromatic flavor of the hops to stand out.
An American Ale was chosen as the yeast.

As soon as you open it you are surrounded by a citrus scent: orange, grapefruit and even resinous hints.
When poured it's light golden and produces little foam.
Full-bodied beer in the mouth, but the contribution to the taste is truly minimal: the mouth is invaded by an intense citrus flavor with those resinous reflections that stand out even more.
The carbonation is perfect for making the drink leaner, despite the fullness of body and taste.
The finish is dry (resinous, light herbaceous notes) with a very perceptible and prolonged bitter note, although not excessive, while a delicate taste of orange peel and bergamot remains on the palate.
It's incredibly easy to drink, without giving a sense of heaviness and with a fullness of taste that enhances every sip.
Bitter finish (herbaceous/resinous) that remains pleasantly on the tongue and citrus taste on the palate: great balance from start to finish, with faithful respect for the original style, without compromises.
