L'Una Rossa

Tap to rate

The darker sibling of Opperbacco's L'Una — the same Belgian yeast backbone with Special B, Crystal and Chocolate malts folded in for depth. Amber-red in the glass, dried-fruit and caramel over a warm Belgian spice.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for L'Una Rossa

L'Una Rossa presents a deep amber-red hue, translucent and bright in the glass. A dense, cream-colored head forms on the pour and clings to the sides with good lacing. Carbonation is moderate and steady, contributing to a refined visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with caramel and candied dried fruit — plum and raisin notes predominate. Beneath lies the characteristic Belgian yeast signature: a subtle clove-like spice and herbal warmth. Chocolate and toast emerge on closer inspection, grounding the sweeter top notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with immediate caramel sweetness balanced by gentle herbal bitterness (25 IBU reads restrained). The mid-palate reveals layered dark-fruit esters and a subtle chocolate richness from the Special B and Chocolate malts. Finish is warm and slightly peppery, with lingering bready notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with the Belgian yeast character providing a drying, peppery fadeout. A faint chocolate-and-toast echo persists in the aftertaste.
