750 ml capped bottle. Poured an unfiltered and hazy amber-orange coloured Fruit Beer with a one finger slight beige dense and pillowy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is sweety malts, deep white vinous and honey notes. The flavour is mild sweety malts, yeast, intense fruits, white grapes, apples, citrussy notes and herbal tones, a touch of spices, vanilla. The mouthfeel is fresh, sparkling and very smooth. This medium to full bodied Fruit Beer has a lingering fruity and sweety ( honey ) finish. A very well balanced and tasting Fruit Beer with an amazing smoothness. I like it. Viva la Bella Italia !

Tasted at the Triple Rock Sour and Barrel Aged Fest on 2/12/2011. This fruit beer pours a light to medium orange gold color from a 500ml (?) bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, grapes, grape skins and wood. A medium to full bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity and sweet, grape and grape skins. The hops are earthy. Very smooth tasting. Mild carbonation. Touch of orange and orange peel. You really notice the grapes in this beer, and how the wood interacts with the malts and grapes. Nice. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
