Description
Il Birrificio prende il nome dalla sorgente del Lambro, il nostro amato e tanto bistrattato fiume, simbolo, nel bene e nel male, di questo territorio (una sorgente particolare, purissima, che un po’ mena… un po’ resta… viva, come la nostra birra!).
Il logo riproduce la sperada, tipica acconciatura femminile in uso in Brianza fino all’inizio del ‘900, ornamento che le spose indossavano il giorno del matrimonio e che univa trasversalmente la gente di ogni estrazione sociale. Come solo può fare la birra!

Pinkish hazy color, lively. Some doughy, farty smell, some berries. Very dry mouthfeel, moderate acidity, not much depth of flavor, but it has a nice sour berry touch, cranberries. Clean palate.
Well done.

Has an ambery-reddish colour. On the aroma, this is heavily yeasty - a unique yeasty character and it's pretty dominant. Tart on the palate, with a vinous note and a fairly strong barrel accent. The acidity on this is quite sharp. There are bugs here, but tough to pick out anything common. A nice experiment, really, brings sharp acidity, nice fruity accent, and is a fairly well-rounded beer.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma reveals light funk, some balsamic, and subtle vinous notes. Flavour is rather obscured, with light faded grapes, some earthy funk, phenolic notes, a little blue cheese, and a hint of leather. Earthy and obscured. Not much clear character, but pleasant enough.
