Gjulia Mixed Case Birra 330 mL

Tasting Notes

Birra d’Italia! What better way cleanse your palate than with an artisanal, craft beer from the people who bring us Tunella wines from Friuli. Birra Gjulia is their most recent venture. As an “Agricole” brewery, they source all of the raw materials for the beer – the malt, hops, wheat, must, yeast and the pure water coming from Mount Mia Springs – from their own property.

This case holds 12 x 330ml bottles: 4 bottles of each of the 3 beers described below:

Est – Weisen – ABV 6%; IBU 18
Made with wheat, intense aroma’s and a rich and fulfilling taste, with a typical finish of banana. Excellent match for spicy foods, medium aged and blue cheeses, soups and cold cuts. Best if served at 8-10°C.

Nord – Bionda – ABV 5.5%; IBU 24
A classic ale, light bodied with round scents of malt, citrus, and flower notes. Well matched with simple dishes, crustaceans, soft cheeses and white meats. Best if served at 8-10°C.

IPA – Italia Bionda Speciale – ABV 5.8%; IBU 45
IPA = Italian Pale Ale – Beside being made from their own harvested barley, like all Gjulia Beers, also uses their own cultivated Hops. The beer shows an intense yellow colour and orange hues while the generous hopping ensures a burst of citrus aroma’s. On the palate a full body stretches out to a typical bitter finish. Good match for deep-fried dishes, spicy food and blue cheeses. Great with hamburgers!
Best if served at 8-10C.

ABV – Alcohol by Volume
IBU – International Bittering Units. This refers to the amount of isomerized hop resins in the beer, and is given in parts per million. Essentially, the higher this number, the more hoppy the beer. This can be misleading though, because your perception of bitterness might be different based on the other ingredients in the beer. In other words, you might think a pale ale tastes hoppier than an imperial stout, even though the stout might have more IBUs.
