About
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.

[10/9/13] Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas in Brussels. Cloudy orange with a white head. Yeasty aroma, fruity, a bit of oaky, a bit sour, with a faint funk. Slightly sourish flavor, a bit sweetish, yeasty, fruity, with vinous notes, some spiciness and a slightly bitter finish, spicy and alcoholic. Medium-bodied. So-so.

20/10/2013 Eurhop (tap). Bruna-miele di castagno, non molto densa, schiuma leggera, non molto persistente. Al naso note di caramello, sentori tostati, esteri leggeri, una punta di luppolo. In bocca si beve bene, è equilibrata, dolciastra con finale amarognolo e leggermente sapido. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione bassa. Buona!

Runder starker Malzantrunk mit leichter Süße. Rund, für Schokoladennoten lassen nicht nach, vollmundig, das Bier könnte aber noch einen Ticken intensiver sein. 10/10/9/9//9

18/010/2013 Bir&Fud (tap). Dorata, curiosamente limpida, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso sentori aciduli, leggeri esteri, note agrumate, piuttosto strana come weizen, ma interessante. In bocca è di facile beva, weizen atipica, manca forse un po’ di complessità e struttura. Mi ha lasciato un po’ perplesso.

Bottle shared at Borefts ’13, big thanks to whoever laid down this rare IT number, 28/09/13. Very dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head. Nose is roasted malts, brown sugars, cocoa, cake mix, light spice. Taste comprises dark toffee, dark fruits, cocoa powder, light oxidisation evident but only a touch. Medium bodied with bite, smooth on the palate, moderate carbonation, light spice in the finale. Decent enough stuff, perhaps a little tired.

Tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Orange-golden color with a high, fine head. Not of wine, sweet honey, oranges, some vinegar. Soft, sweet flavor, lemon, wine, a bit sour. Decent. Oily and silky. Somehow the taste does not live up to the nose.
