Description
For over 15 years we have been proud producers of wholemeal craft beers, all strictly unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Beer is an age-old product and we wanted to interpret it in a contemporary key, always keeping a connection with tradition.

Birra OV is crafted with the aim, indeed the duty, to maintain the organoleptic qualities, totally avoiding preservaties’ use in order to guarantee both the high quality and the customer’s satisfaction, which will always be our most important goal.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a longlasting mediumsized white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some floral notes, mild parfumed soapyness as well as some slight maltyness. Flavour is quite malty with some sweet tropical fruity notes as well. Mild bitterness in the finish. Refreshing and even though being quite simple, its a rather nice session beer.

05/01/2011 Birrifugio Trastevere (handpump). Bevuta al Birrifugio Trastevere con Pippi. Dorata carica, con riflessi arancia e quasi ramati, lievemente torbida, schiuma morbida bianco sporca. Aroma fruttato, con nette note erbacee, fresca, decisa, di carattere. In bocca è abbastanza decisa ma senza perder il tradizionale "aplomb" inglese, note di malto leggere, quindi un bel finale luppolato lungo e coinvolgente. Corpo medio, liscia, bevibile. Birra davvero interessante e ben fatta, una delle mie bitter preferite.
