Description
In 2005, Leonardo Di Vicenzo opened Birra del Borgo’s first brewery, Collerosso, in Borgorose, a small village located in the Valle del Salto, in province of Rieti, on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. 2009 marked a watershed for Birra del Borgo with the opening of our new brewery. Moving out of our one-room space at Collerosso and into a modernized facility, our new brewery became the heartbeat of the company and cleared a way to fulfilling our brewing ambitions.
In 2015 Collerosso brewery begins new life. We rethought it entirely to pursue a new journey of research and discovery: Spontaneous Fermentation. Allowing wild yeast in the air to ferment the beer directly in the Coolship, marked an important milestone in our journey. Indeed, Collerosso and these beers represent our feeling to always change, to always strive to discover more. We are always restless and eager to see things from a different, unique, new perspective.
In 2016 Birra del Borgo was bought for 100% by AB InBev.

This beer is regular, not so far than a white IPA, decently hoppy, citrus, a bit short with the aromas and watery, perfect to begin a night, 16.07.18, at Pettaciatto with Massimo, buying it in one supermarket in the region of Vasto.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear orange body under a nice off-white head. Interesting, rather spicy aroma, malt, herbs, spices, licorice and pepper. Taste is sweet malt with the same spicy, herbs and slightly fruity taste. Medium body and pleasant aftertaste. Fun, different and a bit challenging but all over I like it.
