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.

Backlog November 2012. Unclear deep golden body under a big, creamy off-white head. Heavy carbonation. Nice aroma, light malty with citric fruits. Taste is nice as well, light malt, a bit sweet, fruity, hint of spices. Medium body and refreshing aftertaste.

A World Cup Of Beers#23. ITALY. An international brew with the football once found on keg at the Medicine Tap in Rochdale, but this is the modern bottled version, which is golden and only slightly hazy for being unfiltered. This aspect does impact its taste, although it's fairly standard lager so only to an extent. What does stand out though its its higher bitterness factor on this pour, which further edges out an already flavourless mix of earthy pantry flavours, with its honey just evident. Drank this one whilst watching only the second ever World Cup game to feature a host country playing on foreign grass - Canada vs Morocco.

500ml bottle from Supermercati DEM, in Civitavecchia, Italy. Pours a cloudy (unfiltered) gold color with a white head and good retention. Very good lacing. Pale malt and pilsner malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Pale malt flavor to start, with pilsner malt flavor and some hops in the finish. Minimal sulfur notes. Smooth and clean. Semi-crisp texture. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Light to moderate bitterness. Well made.

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.
