Cassissona

Style: Sparkling Black Currant Ale
Birrificio Italiano, Lurago Marinone (CO), Italy

A sparkling Cassis (black currant) Ale. This beer is made by adding Cassis (Black Currant) at the beginning of the fermentation and matured for at least 6 months.

Its exhuberant, fine, sparkling champagne-like froth – mottled with precious pink undertones – together with the vaguely opaque, pastel orange hue opens up the imagination, preparing it to receive with the sense of smell a triumph of yellow-pulp fresh fruit, of remote flowering meadows, of loved-one’s skin... In the mouth, a subtle sweetness balances the carbonation, repeating the olfactory sensations, picking up on the way a neatly recognizable hint of blackcurrant (which is actually added during the brew) which introduces, with its light acidity, a persistent fruitiness. The sip is finally completed by a bold hopping, bestowing dryness to the alchemy.
