Olea Beer 0.75 LT

Olea is the result of a project that the brewery has been conducting for years: converting all its creations to use only Italian raw materials (many self-produced). Coldiretti Lazio played a fundamental role in this growth path for the vision totally based on the principles of the circular economy, which are the basis of Olea. This explains the use of 100 kg of dried olive leaves from Lazio. Beautiful golden yellow with amber reflections, this beer sums up strong sensory characteristics attributable to the raw materials used. The use of the dried leaf mitigates the contribution of bitterness in the beer, without detracting from its functional aspect: the beer is balanced in smell and taste, with hints of bread crust, custard, ripening citrus fruits (orange, lemon), biscuit and barely noticeable notes of green tea, cola and tobacco leaf, increasingly noticeable as the temperature increases. There are quite evident spicy counterpoints, including saffron and coriander and a hint of smokiness that, we are sure, can be traced back to the large quantity of dried olive leaves. The aftertaste is clean and sharp, with a slight bitterness and a minute acidity but always and rightly present, to facilitate the sip.
