Description
Il Birrificio Montegioco prende il nome dall’omonimo paese della Val Grue, a pochi chilometri da Tortona, antica terra di confine tra Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardia ed Emilia Romagna. L’avventura comincia nella primavera del 2005 quando un vecchio magazzino viene trasformato in un moderno microbirrificio.
Riccardo Franzosi è l’artefice di tutto questo, la passione per la birra lo ha spinto a iniziare come homebrewer per puro piacere personale ed ha successivamente scelto di trasformare questa passione in un vero e proprio lavoro.

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Beer Wknd #5 avec l’équipe RB et Bru. Orange, col blanc. Arôme au nez rappelant un peu le fenouil et l’anis, le tout sur des effluves presque de Ricard. Pointe de barrique en rétro, et un fruité plutôt modéré - pas spécialement noté les pêches. Palais est axé sur un côté anisé, léger sur une bonne base de malt, grains concassés et un profil surprenant venant peut-être de cet ajout de pêche. Le tout garde un peu cette signature Montegioco au niveau d’une fine couche aigrelette qui arrive après chaque gorgée.

(Thx! for sharing!) Sampled draft @ Italian BEER Week-End #5. Hazy orange with no head. Nose is oddly pretty big on anise, sour malty & more anise, interesting. Taste is basic sour, doughy, less anise than in the smell but it is still there, lightly puckering tone fruit, lemon, tart zest,… Good malty sour base. Quite good, interesting & bit unusual.

On tap at BNO in Sassari-Italy. Slightly hazy deep golden pour, medium creamy-tick head. Nose: grassy character a bit piney with a grainy hint. Mouth: more on the sessional side, frizzy carbonation with a bitter grassy-like finish and a malty and peppery middle soul. Very interesting. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at the PIB. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a medium white head. A big woody sour peach nose. The flavor is dry husky earthy malt, sharp sour and sweet peaces. Quite smooth. Solid.

On tap at PIB 2016, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light tartness and a little stone fruitiness. Flavour brings out loads of peaches, though they're fairly muted. Zesty, fuzzy peach skins on the finish. Okay.
