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.

2017 bottle from Les Vignerons. Finally got ahold of this after about 5 years of searching. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a huge, airt head that is noisily settling down as I write. The nose is brilliant sour peach meaty, fruity, lovely, not the over-ripe kind, but with orange and lemon hints and a touch of tropical fruit. Creamy as well. Flavor is fruity peach, not really all that tart, but quite dry. Creamy, not exactly lactic but almost. There is some tart, partially ripe apricot or nectarine, which I guess is this kind of peach. It doesn't come off like a hugely ripe peach, but the tartness is less than expected from the nose. It is wonderfully crisp, clean, and refreshing. The finish is dry, though fruity, but not sweet. A wonderful beer. The malt is unobtrusive for sure, but it still seems like beer. Carbonation is high but not overly strong. Adds to the refreshing character. The Belgian yeast is there but not over-powering, just adding a nice spicy character to the peaches.
