Alfea
The house pale ale from Trieste's most charming microbrewery, brewed metres from the tap in the ancient Cavana fishing district — the neighbourhood where James Joyce spent years during his Trieste sojourn. Alfea is an unfiltered, sessionable pale ale with a gentle bitterness, light cereal body and a clean finish: the perfect companion to the complimentary horseradish tapas and prosciutto served at the brewery bar.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Alfea
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
