Description
The Birrificio Rurale was born in 2009 from the idea of five beer enthusiasts who wanted to find the agricultural origins of beer in an area with a strong rural vocation. in mid-2012 we started planning to move. At the beginning of 2013, we started production in our new brewery, after more than three years of work and gaining experience, we decided to continue on our path by moving to a place that would allow us to manage the growing demand with greater control. Definitely less romantic than the previous premises, the new headquarters in Desio is much more functional and will allow us to offer you an increasingly constant and quality product.

Draught, Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa. Roma. Murky dark brown appearance with a medium tan head. Some roasty toasty notes in the beak alongside some hoppage. Flavour was on the sweet side of the tracks with more roast alongside some rustic, earthy bitterness and notes of chocolate and fruits. Decent Black IPA that ploughs its own furrow.

Draft @ Isola della Birra, Milano. Dorée-paille, col épais blanc. Arôme offre un profond bouquet citronné, caractère type de blanche sur un rétro-nasal épicé. Palais est épicé rappelant une blanche typique sur une petite note d’agrumes. Écorce légère avec une petite pointe de bergamote. Légère et rafraichissante sur ce fini malt de froment sur un fini légèrement amer orangé.

Cask @ BQ 62, Milano. Ambrée, col blanc cassé. Arôme aux bonne saveurs de malts grillés avec ce petit bouquet de grains assez doux et un rétro de chocolat. Houblon arrive en retrait et se fait un peu trop discret. Palais est malté grillé tirant presque sur un léger café au lait. Amertume houblonné est modérée et ajoute de fines pointes d’agrumes. Le profil café-esque est sympa mais le tout manque juste le coche avec un houblonné qui manque de rétablir la balance. Autrement, une belle découverte qui se laisse boire avec facilité.

23/04/2014 Mad For Beer (tap). Dorata paglierino, leggermente torbida, schiuma media discretamente persistente. Naso invadente e monocorde, bergamotto sparatissimo a coprire ogni cosa, nota citrica leggera. In bocca va appena meglio, ma anche qui la presenza del bergamotto è eccessiva e alla lunga stanca. Corpo leggero, carbonazione media. Sgraziata.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks Stas. Hazy yellow with a white head. Hoppy aroma with tropical fruits and pine. Flavor has some sweetish malt, fruity hops, piney and floral notes and a pleasant bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Quite nice.

This was labeled as special, though I’m not sure of bergamot. Cloudy pale yellow, loose but big head. Lots of coriander on the nose. Similar taste, a fair bit of maltiness up front and tartness at the back.

Slightly hazy brown. Med head. Aroma is orangey-fruity with some toasty brown ale notes. Sweet malts, brown sugar, some toasty character and sweet fruity Dipa-style hops. So like marmalade and brown sugar...makes sense but not my preferred balance. Decent beer, expanding the concept at the sweet end.

Bottle 330ml
Dark opaque brown/dark ruby coor, small beige head. Coffeish, black malt aroma. Light-bodied. Toasted malty, tobacco-ash in the flavor. Quite weak and watery, not a suprise for 4.2% beer. No faults but not much use for this beer.
