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.

Undated bottle drunk 1/28/23. Clear, pale, brassy. Hint of warm honey. Small, white, frothy head clinging to edge. Nose is a bit oxidized, or suggests it anyways. Honey, vanilla, hint of strong bread and maybe a pinch of acetic acid mixing with cherry-like brett and mild lactic acidity. Not as much of the saison character as you'd hope for. Clean, however, no alcohol noted. Somehow not oxidized in the flavor despite the nose suggesting it. Instead, mineral, yellow fruits and moderate lactic acidity with mild, tart brett and a crisp, saison yeast snappiness on the finish. Cherry and mild acetic acid with hints of oak suggest the lambic but it's certainly not overdone or dominant. Clean.

330 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 3.7%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of floral and citric hops. Light bodied as expected, but not bad for a 3.7% beer. Decent hoppy flavour with fruity and herbal notes, ending in a noticeable bitterness. Went down smoothly. Might buy again.
