Immersed in the murky waters of one of Venice’s storied canals, I.P.Agent Holly Hoppington spies the hull of a gondola above where the international hop broker ‘Le Barbe Rouge’ has agreed to exchange the Malt Tease Falcon statuette that was pilfered in London for one million dollars.

But Holly has brought no valise full of Euros. Only a thirst for revenge - and perhaps a crisp Italian pilsner made with Venetian Eraclea malt & dry hopped with lemony Saphir. A tasty reward for a job well done.

She silently emerges from the Adriatic and peers over the fórcola. Le Barbe Rouge sits alone in the darkness.

“Marco…” she whispers. He whirls around to see her lower a speargun over the gunwale, and slowly raises his hands.

“Polo…” he answers. “Ciao, bella. I see, once again, that there are no depths to which you won’t sink.”

“Here’s a tip,” says Holly. “Never underestimate the I.P.Agency’s desire to reclaim what’s ours. Hand over the Falcon, and there’ll be no need for a second tip, if you catch my drift.”
