Although obviously not filtered, this beer from a very aggressive Boutique Brewery in Italy is pretty darn delicious. Claims to be an IPA although it would fail under American Standards. This is definitely more of a pale wheat or unfiltered Pale Ale, but it's still delicious. The Hop has a slight brett character to it. I am not only getting a little bit of wheat but also a little bit of orange rind. The beer finishes with a little bit of a hop bite. This beer finished a little bit flat in my opinion. Definitely not as torqued up as an IPA from stone or Dogfish Head. I don't know why I was expecting something much darker to come out of the bottle? The aftertaste is really what made me rate this one at 8.9! — 8 years ago
Aglianico grape from Sorrento Italy was really great!!!! — 9 years ago
Discovered the Greco di Tufo grape in Sorrento. Dry, mineral finish, incredible flavor that only comes from volcanic soil! A must try when you tire of fruity white wines!

First wine of our Italy 2017 trip! Enjoying this with an amazing view high above Sorrento. Dark berry, clear, no sediment, medium+ viscosity on the eye. Nose sees tart cranberries, ripe strawberries, copper, some manure. Palette sees almost ripe, raw cherries, medium acid, medium tannins - but a lot more than you'd expect from an Italian wine, perhaps. You also get the feeling of little bubble on your tongue (although these are none). Finish is medium length, medium complexity. The balance of the fruity nose with some interesting inorganic notes paired with a more "straight ahead" Italian red with more tannins is a great combo. An enjoyable start to Campagna! — 9 years ago
Holy hell. Top of the "KRIEK" charts. 2006 vintage. Quite a bit reminiscent of Flanders Red. Carbonation stays overnight. Pierce the cap carefully, else lose precious juice. — 9 years ago
An Italian sour beer? Tell me more.... Oaky, a little malty, a nice level of sour (tangy without too much pucker). Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the beer sale, whole foods! — 11 years ago

J'adore. Décidément la brasserie italienne Baladin ne cesse de me surprendre. Belle couleur dorée tirant sur l'ambrée. Une bonne profondeur de goût et une bonne amertume, une impression épicé et un peu boisée. Le tout titrant à 8 — 9 years ago
