Vicaris Quinto was brewed for the opening of the new Dilyewyns brewery and was originally sold as Dilewyns Openingsbier.
Quinto, meaning ‘fifth’ in Italian, refers to the fifth Vicaris beer, the abv and the Italian brewing plant.
Quinto is a gold, high fermented beer with fermentation in the barrel and bottle. Rich and creamy in mouthfeel, this is a naturally brewed beer, unfiltered and unpasteurised. The bottle should be kept upright so as not to dislodge the yeast on the bottom of the bottle. Upon pouring, approximately 1cm should be left in the bottle, this is the yeast which will add a bitter flavour to the beer. Of course, this could be added if so desired.
Otto The Bierdude –
Pours hazy yellow with a small egg white head. Yeasty and fruity nose. Sparkling and phenolic. A bit rough with a spicy finish.
Kristin –
Despite the yeast in the bottle, this is very like a lager. It does have a citrussy finish
Mike –
Pours golden with a nice, fluffy head. A touch sweet with a slightly herbal finish.
Laurence Baillie Brown –
This is a very tasty and wholesome beer, with a great flavour. I really enjoyed it and would drink more.
