🌍 Italy · American Amber Ale · One of 56 American Amber Ales in hopIQ

An amber ale with an antagonist spirit — the 'Cosmo Rosso' from Perugia's revived historic brewery. Brewed with Centennial and Mandarina Bavaria hops over a Carared malt base, the aroma is decisively citrusy and herbal while the taste is 'ostinata e orgogliosamente amaricante' — stubborn and proudly bitter. Warm amber with a beige head; a hop-forward amber that refuses to play it safe.
