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.

Bottle that Craig shared with me in a field at Cropredy Festival 13-08-09 cheers Craig Pours amber with an off-white head. There is some hoppiness on the nose along with some cooked vegetables. In the mouth there is a touch of sourness from this UK style hoppy beer, with some streaky bitterness, its a simple beer but not bad at all. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask at BQ, Milan. Cloudy ruby, no head. Black currant aroma. Medium sweet and medium bodied. Dominated by black currant-like hops. The malt just supports the beer, the hops drives towards the marked bitter finish.
