I last had this at our Octoberfest celebration. I don’t often buy bombers, but my wife has bought me a couple of treats recently.
They say:
My Antonia started out as a Collaboration beer when Sam [Calagione] brewed it at Birra del Borgo outside Rome, Italy with owner/brewer Leonardo DiVencenzo in October of 2008. In 2010, we began brewing My Antonia here at Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware for U.S. distribution.
My Antonia (named after the Willa Cather read), is a continually-hopped imperial pilsner.
It pours a pale straw; what little head there is is white and fizzy. There’s a little chill haze. Slightly floral aroma with a hint of some spice (pepper?). Flavor is bigger than it looks, with a big malt backbone and a bitter finish.
This is good stuff. I’ll be having this again. Soon.
