    Personal considerations :

    Always happy to have had access to this year's celebratory "variants", I personally appreciated the "SLOVENIAN CUT - Slovenia über Helles" much more because this herbaceous hint (of freshly cut meadow grass) of hops accompanies and characterizes the entire drink, giving it an exemplary freshness and a constant and delicate taste that makes the taste path simple, straight and satisfying. Sensation of extreme freshness, very delicate flavors and bitterness, elements that combine with extreme balance. Truly a great beer, it should be kept permanently in the line because it makes you have a truly "classy" drink, in its light-heartedness.
    This year's cask ("Tipo³") instead seemed more anonymous to me compared to that of last year and previous years.
    Always great balance, for goodness' sake.
    Perfect body and carbonation.
    However, I would have expected the taste to be quite fuller and more decisive, perhaps with a more decisive bitter note on the tongue at the end. Instead, I did not find any noteworthy complexity that could characterize it in a more decisive way than its general delicacy.

    I hope that all the participants in the event, near or far, had a good experience and appreciated what they drank.
    Sláinte !
    Cheers !

    @Jack_14 - Really loved your summaries of the beers you enjoyed yesterday! Hope to have a chance at these selections soon.

    @Todd - You and your crew typically are religious at closing these threads immediately after the tasting dates have expired. However, I am requesting you keep this thread open at least a week or two due to delays of shipment of these beers to participating United States bars.

    • BEER TEMPLE 3173 N Elston Ave, Chicago, Il 60618, Illinois
      • I see they did get the beer on time, though IIRC they had an earlier post that this was tentatively rescheduled for Friday March 21, possibly due to shipping or distribution delays. I see they tapped at least one keg yesterday, so plan on heading there around open to drink what I can, and I’ll report back with my selection(s) and or report the kegs have been kicked.
    • SILVER STAMP 222 E Imperial Ave, Las Vegas, Nv 89104, Nevada
      • **Postponed Due to Shipping Delays** Our delivery date is still pending, but we’ll reschedule as soon as it’s confirmed. In the meantime, we’ve tapped the timeless classic, Tipopils, to tide us over while we wait. Stay tuned for updates!

    This was more of an announcement vs. an online tasting thread that was never really started.

    It's an event report.
    I'll do it also for the next "New England Fest" organized by Brasseria della Fonte:

    Of course, I'll take notes at the moment, then once I get home I'll attach the review to the photo and proceed with the publication.
    This will be another important event, in an important location (full Val D'Orcia, a hilly land, of wines), with beers that we will probably have the chance to taste only on that occasion, if we exclude any future trips.
