Malafemmenna

Tap to rate

A double IPA first created with the owner of a group of beer shops in Rome. It pours deep gold with a slight hop haze and a fluffy white head. Citrus, passionfruit and guava lead the aroma, joined by dank, piney hops and a sweet warmth from the alcohol. The palate opens with citrus, moves into tropical fruit and resinous pine, and ends intensely hoppy yet smooth. Carbonation is soft, and the hops leave a slightly oily finish.

◐ Taste

Entry opens with clean citrus brightness that transitions into a full tropical fruit mid-palate with guava and passionfruit notes. Resinous pine develops alongside moderate bitterness, creating texture and grip without drying. The finish remains intensely hoppy yet maintains a smooth, integrated character throughout.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
