Croce di Malto Temporis - Italy (ABV 6.8%)

This Saison style beer was brewed in Trecate, Novara, Italy (just west of Milan). It is one of the first Italian craft beers I have tasted.

I am a fan of the refreshing, yet flavour packed nature of the Saison style, so was looking forward to tasting this beer. It poured a delightful orange amber (slightly cloudy) colour, with a fluffy white typical Saison head. A beautiful spicy & citrus hop aroma with typical Saison yeast esters. It has a wonderful mouth feel, a  citrus and herbaceous hop taste and a nice crisp dryish finish.

This is an excellent Saison, craft brewing is obviously alive and well in Italy!
