🌍 Italy · Amber Ale · One of 5 Amber Ales in hopIQ

Birrificio Italiano's amber ale — a departure from the famous Tipopils pilsner into British and American territory. Caramel malt and toasted grain with citrus hop character and a balanced, medium-bodied finish at 6.5%. Amber Shock demonstrates Arioli's range as a brewer: the same precision applied to hops in Tipopils, now applied to malt in a bold amber ale.
