Leo, Teo e Sam sono andati alla ricerca dell’origine della birra, ricreando un’audace ricetta ispirata alle antiche bevande fermentate. Usando ingredienti comuni sulla base dei ritrovamenti archeologici ogni birrificio ha scelto un metodo di fermentazione diverso. A Borgorose, l’Etrusca, l’abbiamo fatta riposare in grandi anfore di terracotta, come quelle ritrovate negli antichi siti etruschi

Using ingredients found on archeological sites (different cereals, hazelnuts, raisins, pomegranate, resins, honey), this project is supervised by Patrick McGovern (university of Pennsylvania).
At Del Borgo the beer is fermenting in clay amphorae.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va sul floreale e sullo speziato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. La frizzantezza si manifesta sotto forma di poche bollicine medie. Il colore è ambrato tenue. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. L'aroma in bocca riporta sentori di miele, nocciola, frutta secca, resina, agrumi, alcol presente, melograno e uva passa.

Bottle at share. Light golden pour, cloudy, airy head. Tart, fruity aroma with light savory notes. taste gets earthy and natural, herbaceous, sweet, lemons, grass. All over the place, but it's an old historic recipe, so it offer a glimpse into the past.

330ml bottle. Pours orange brown. Pomegranate, grass, dried fruit, nutty, toffee, tart pomegranate juice, bit of vomit in the flavour. Nice smooth body. Feel like without that grassy vomit note this might be ok.

Draft glass @ Caulier 28. Board indicated Tocalmatto Etrusca but I cannot find any sign of that beer existing & the board wasn’t very clear. Clear golden, creamy white, nice lacing. Nose is all stale yoghurt, soap, peach. Taste is yoghurt, overly sweet, sparkling, far too soapy with plastic apple,… Body is likewise, poor.

Bottle at L42 - thanks to Kenny! It pours hazy yellow - gold with a white head. The aroma is musty, earthy, tangy fruits, chewy, wood and leather. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, acidic kick, bracing, stewed apricot, peach, bit of sherbet, tannin, leather, must, alcohol kick and wood with a drying and tangy finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Pretty unusual/unique stuff. Not so bad whatever it is.
