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.

Smell of hops, faint sweet fruit. Cognac colour, off-white head. Aroma of bitter hops, harshly so. Also spruce. Lacking maltiness. Very bitter. Soft carbon. More of a heavily-hopped IPA.

Hand pumped at Ranzani 13, Bologna, Italy. Pours an elegant amber, transparent, with stable, very fine white foam. Aroma is earthy, a little herbaceous and malty. Body is average, with close to no carbonation. Teste is pretty bitter compared to a traditional a bitter. Final is still too bitter, in my view.

Tap at Ranzani 13, Bologna, Italy. Pours dark amber, fairly hazy, with very fine brownish foam, moderate. Aroma is malty and caramel, alcoholic. Body is average, like carbonation, but with a strong sweet and alcoholic sensation right after drinking. Taste is pretty sweet. Final is too, as mentioned, as the chocolate somehow comes out.
