Poured a hazy pale yellow, with a big fluffy, frothy white head. The body is a deep golden with some sediment. Aroma is yeasty, with a watercress, herbal hops, and spice smell. Taste is yeasty, sour, spicy, banana, lemon and a delicate bitter hop finish. A very Belgian taste for an Italian beer. Very enjoyable.

An interesting take on a Belgian style beer, made by the Italians here. This beer is Gold, or amber in color and is very good. I am often intimidated by Grand Cru, or any beer kept in a 750ml with a cork, I have run into a few corked beers before, disgusting, trust me. However, this beer was very good.

This beer comes in a corked 750 ml bottle. It pours as a deep golden-amber color with a tall and quite stable white head. The aroma is dominated by bubblegum esters, followed by a little pale malt. There are some distant herbal hops in the smell, but they take a little searching to notice. The taste is a little fruity and peppery, but also somewhat restrained. A stronger flavor would have been better for the style. Malt, figs, yeast, and a little very lightly toasted malt flavor. The body is moderately full with a lively carbonation. The drinkability on this beer is quite good. Much better than Moretti's usual fare.
