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.

Goudgele kleur. Moutig, zoet, typische zoet-kruidige Saison/Belgisch blondje, iets wrang, groene druiven, krijg weinig van de beloofde vaten mee. Aangenaam maar weinig spannend bier.

Bottle from the Beer Hawk Advent Calendar. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of wood, lemon, floral perfume. Something honeyed. Taste has some white grape, honey, light oak. Light sweet finish. Great nose, but doesn't quite deliver on flavour.

(Bottle, 5.7%) Golden yellow colour with big, lasting, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of pineapple, peaches, orange and flowers. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, peaches, pineapple, white bread, flowers, hints of white-pepper and a mild floral, citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Cool beer with some hints of saison in the back, yet the fruitiness of a slightly soured spontaneous fermented beer. Beer xmas 2020 advent
