Tasting Notes

In appearance, Azz is amber gold, clear and bright, with a compact and persistent white foam.

On the nose, it is an explosion of hoppy aromas: six hops intertwine creating a complex bouquet of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, passion fruit), citrus (grapefruit, orange), resinous pine notes, and herbal nuances. The olfactory profile is intense and inviting.

On the palate, the body is full and enveloping, with a medium carbonation that balances perfectly. The taste recalls the hoppy notes of the nose, with an intense but balanced bitterness that characterizes the finish. The alcohol strength is present but never intrusive, warming gently without ever burning.

Azz is the beer for those seeking perfection in excess: a hug of flavor that dares to be bold, an exuberant balance that dispels monotony.
