🌍 Italy · Golden Strong Ale · One of 1 Golden Strong Ales in hopIQ

Sardinia's most celebrated craft beer — Birra d'Italia 2011 1st place, Slow Food Birra Imperdibile 2021. Named after Porto Flavia, the extraordinary mining site carved into the cliffs of the Sulcis coast where miners once loaded ore directly onto ships. Golden, veiled, with wide compact foam; the nose is rich and opulent with tropical fruit, candied citrus, and warming spice. Soft and full on the palate with an intriguing alcoholic note that builds complexity, finishing with great dryness and cleanliness. Dangerously drinkable at 7.9%.
