Ohibò, we resume sound (or perhaps insane) habit of writing on the blog and keeping the promise we make to describe our impressions of the two beers from the brewery came Bad Attitude Lorenzo Buttons & Company a few days before the Russian roulette (gastronomically speaking) of Christmas holidays. So, let's start by saying that getting the beers in the tasting at home by a craft brewery practice is almost unknown in Italy (first applause for Bad Attitude), which may lead to the conclusion that the writer does not serve beer to nothing or that the craft brewers do not give a damn. Dunno, you name it. However, the initiative is laudable Buttons also because it is knowingly exposed to criticism, of course, possible and hopefully motivated, and because it legitimizes the small population of Italian bloggers. The two beers in question are called Hipster and Rudolph, immortalized below shortly before uncorking ....

| Hipster and Rudolph by Bad Attitude Craft Brewing |
Let's start with the pack because I am convinced that the eye wants its part. Size of the bottle-style "mason Fifties," but made nice with the labels: a style "summer of love" and one that revisits the Red-Nosed Reindeer driving the sled di Babbo Natale. A me sono piaciute entrambe perchè mi hanno messo allegria e mi è pure piaciuta la dizione "birra artigiana" invece di artigianale (che sia questa la chiave di volta della sfuggente quanto inflazionata definizione?). Alleluia finale per la citazione dei luppoli. La trovo una cosa buona e giusta e suggerisco a Lorenzo di inviare un campione anche a quelli della Splugen scrivendogli "ecco, i tre luppoli. Li trovate nella retroetichetta". Perplessità invece sulla Hipster presentata come una Pilsener Organic Wine. Vero che la presa per i fondelli è già nella dizione, ma la parolina pilsener ai più dice una cosa (luppolo, luppolo e ancora luppolo) mentre al naso la realtà è un'altra. Insomma, a parte qualche nota so-so but soon disappears, the beer seems to think but to speak in Czech in Belgium. I, for example, I heard a fruity apricot and a hint of honey and a few more minutes after a thin spicy, more articulation than a hint of the perfume itself. On the palate the body is there and

feels (7.62% vol). A good balance, a beautiful aroma that lets out a pleasant bitter (so now) and ends very well in the aftertaste, leaving the mouth piva acidity and ready to drink yet. In other words, a beer that convinced me with some stretch marks (the initial nose), but that takes you a little 'off course ... Different speech instead for Rudolph, presented as a "winter warmer" category that lends itself to more interpretations of the theme. The color is amber with tones reminiscent of the copper foam really impressive (a little 'weak in the Hipster), firm and persistent. Complex aroma, spice imaginable now though, not having read the first notes, I have hit just the cinnamon. Ginger and juniper, I felt only after the event, so that is what it's worth. That is nothing.

But beer is a fascinating although I would have preferred an even larger body, stronger and more "hot". Also on the nose spray I wrote "honey and tropical fruit (dates?), Caramel and cinnamon." Cinnamon, which again makes itself felt in the mouth. But without being excessive, with only just enough to get you back in mind certain Anglo-Saxon Christmas cakes and the desire to start a fire (that being surrounded by books and paper typically involves some risk). However beer a pleasant one. The riberrei willingly (even the Hipster) why do not you both end of the sticks to the palate flooded. That is to say that I still thirst. And the second attack on the bottles ...
