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.

Bottled. Golden colour with particles floating around, big fluffy off/white head. Aroma is spices, yeast and some hints of sour fruityness. Flavour is yeast, herbs, some sweet malts along with fruits. A bit acidic and sour too, probably infected, but this one did it in a good way.

Bottle shared by tertons (I think). Its a gusher. With the beautiful light golden shiny body looks awesome in the glass. Aroma is lemon grass, perfume, and spicy wheat. I bet the gentian is responsible for most of it. The spicy really takes over. A bit too much on the lemon-y side, even for me. Taste is a bit more relaxed but still too much lemon. Easy drinking with a bit of nice placed residual sugar sweetness in the very end of the flavor. Of course the carbonation is strong and stingy.

Thick opaqueness. Light blonde. Complex aroma of strawlike malts, tea. Soft malt, tea, slightly floral. Slightly tannic at the back, but that’s quite minimal, maybe the least of any tea beer I’ve had. Balanced, refreshing, very drinkable.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, wild berries, caramel, fudge and spices (nutmeg?). Malty taste with dried fruit, chocolate, caramel and spices. Slightly toasty. Moderate bitterness. Medium body, slightly sweet, with alcohol well hidden. Wouldn’t suffer from a little depth, but still a nice beer.
