Aptly named, as this is quite bitter in context, although not unpleasant. Lemon bitter aroma and flavor were pronounced, possibly due to the always problematic dash dispenser cap on the Fee's (really awful, I do best removing the cap and using a dropper for most of their bitters), resulting in two heavy dumps after an initial drop. I consider the libation good (3), but would rate it higher if evaluated as a predominantly bitter cocktail. There is some mild sweetness at the sip, while mid palate the Solbeso provides a bit of margarine and hint of cacao against the modest Amaro Nonino and more aggressive Campari contributions. Campari's grapefruit/etc. bitterness dominates the finish.
