"Devotchka:" Russian word meaning girl or woman made famous by the popular 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange. Buskers are 2 gypsy brewers from Rome who teamed up with Schigi from Extraomnes to form this gang of brewers. Not quite so violent as the gang in the movie but a group of "hoods" all the same! They got together to make a tripel with a twist using a mixture of centennial, citra, amarillo and sorachi hop combination combined with the carapils malts to give a great tripel with a body and a nice hoppy finish.

Their new Saison designed to be a lighter and more session style Saison compared to their original version (shown below). Deep golden opalescent white with compact foam. Scents dominated by the yeast with the spiciness of black pepper and a light clove, followed by a fresh floral and balsamic notes typical of Saaz.
In the mouth is dry, with a slight softness alcoholic and a bitter end with a gentle but stinging.

Foam is fine and abundant on a golden opalescent. The nose stand out awards of lemongrass, lemon balm and a fruity'' veers from citrus to tropical. The taste is dry with a bitter end extended over which intersects a vegetable essence of lime.

Limited release. Good with meats or fish and chips. Would also work well with a nice soft cheese that would interact well with the pepper.

Lets start with 2 great brewers, one being an American brewing legend, select a style "Farmhouse Ale/Saison, and for a kick throw in some Myrrh and Szechuan peppercorns, then brew it to an alcohol % of 6.66 and you get the picture!. Its defiantly a unique beer. A great saison with this fantastic final kick as it goes down the throat. Try it if you dare!

A beer that adhere to the "Saison" style, the traditional lunchtime beer of Belgian farmers. A lovely golden colour liquid with a fine but meringue like foam. The yeast gives spicy aromas of black pepper and white flowers such as Tiglio. Initially soft and fresh in the mouth leading to persistent flavours of balsamic hops.

Made with only light malts, citrusy hops and yeast with balsamic aromas. Bitter but well balanced. This beer has a creamy and well formed foam which transmit the lovely grapefruit aromas of the beer. Light and amity upfront in the palate but leaves a lovely persistent bitter hoppy taste. A perfect beer for an aperitivo!

A compact head with a persistent and dry finish. An intense nose of mature white peaches, grapes and lychee but also a delicate spice hint. The lack of residual sugars gives a dry, refreshing and persistent flavour.

A big beer with big taste packs a punch of both flavour and alcohol %, cross between a Saison and Belgium Strong Ale. Heavy spicy and citrus aromas on the nose, with a lovely coriander / spicy mouthful and good combination of of bitterness and sweetness. The big alcohol content is not as evident as you'd thing with a well balanced and long lasting taste, overall a very delicious beer that you'll find hard to stop at one.
