What beer are you drinking now? #3986

Good morning everyone,
while the city with its frenetic rhythms wants to suck up all the tranquility with which I refreshed myself during the summer break, I try to take a break and return my mind to the seaside.

Birrificio Altotevere (Perugia, ITA) - CIRCLE - American Lager (gluten-free) 5.1%

33 cl can (€5).
It's a bottom fermentation, first gluten-free beer produced by the brewery.
Hallertau Mittelfrüh is used in the boil, then a light dry hopping of Centennial is done.
Freshly uncorked, herbaceous aromas and light hints of citrus.
When poured, it is straw-coloured, rather opaque and releases an acceptable foam, with little consistency.
You continually see the carbonation go up.
In the mouth I am pleasantly surprised by the real taste of light lager, with that mix of cereals that characterizes the beer enriched by citrus notes (this time clearer than on the nose) and herbaceous.
The body is very light, like a lager, even if the carbonation is a little off (as unfortunately I have often found in bottom fermentations and not only... put in cans).
The taste is characterized by this soft taste of cereals which forms the backdrop to citrus notes (grapefruit, orange peel, cedar) and herbaceous notes which embellish and give a "different" character to this lager.
The bitterness is really not very pungent, but the taste experience is very pleasant and very thirst-quenching although everything is very quick.
Beer that can be drunk simply but which has a remarkable balance between the flavor and bitterness of the hops and respect for the low fermentation from which it started without any element overshadowing another: it's an American Lager and you can understand it immediately.





Sláinte !
Cheers !

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for today's kickoff - what ever happened to @EdmundExley?

I sold Shepherd Neame for years and have a great fondness for their distinctive ales. That stout looks lovely.
