Mariposa
Birrificio Canesciolto

SEPTEMBER 2024.
33 cl bottle (€9.50!, at the historic shop in S. Teresa di Gallura).
It's a Fruit Sour with local blackberries (Sardinian).
When opened, it has a fairly sweet aroma of black berry jam (blackberries, blackcurrants).
When poured, it has a very reddish color, bright on the outside, quite dense and veiled and opaque on the inside: like a kriek, darker.
More abundant foam than I expected, although of ephemeral consistency.
In the mouth, a light-bodied beer but with a full flavor, in the sense that those sweeter than woody notes almost drag you along, a drink in itself is very light.
The blackberry flavor is distinguishable and veers more towards sweet than woody, in fact even the acidic note is very contained, but of appreciable naturalness (the blackberries will never release an acidity of raspberries or blueberries...).
Full flavor on a beer with a very light structure and from which light cereal notes emerge at the end, after the sour hint.
Well-made beer, discreet and "aged" very well (younger it would probably have been even more "jammy") that communicates a true and natural taste.
Of course... at €9.50 it is out of the market... I wanted to indulge myself by tasting it, but at these prices it's absolutely inaccessible.
