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.

Good head, off-white, persistent over hazy dark amber. Nice hoppy nose, bit of chalk, cookie malts or well-done cookies. Bitterish tang, nearly metallic. Good body, but the balance leans too much to the slightly crude hops. All in all, a very acceptable beer.

Muddy amber with a small off-white head. Weak fruity and citrus hops aroma. Bitter and dry, almost to a chalky effect.

Small but persistent white head; beautiful golden colour. DIACETYL! and that’s it for the nose (OK, there’s some grainy aroma hidden as well). Horribly sharp taste and mouthfeel, citrussy but aggressive, together with the diacetyl no other flavours left. Sharp, astrigent. Diacetyl ruins it all; MF way too aggressive.

Draught at Bi-Du Beer Fest 2007
Cloudy orange color. Nice creamy hop aroma, with a touch of cereals and honey. Medium body strength, good malt flavor, velvety, with honey too; strong bitterness.
Chaotic, but brewed with good hops and very pleasant: my congrats.
