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.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with brief, foamy, white head. Fruity, floral nose with herbs, caramel and fresh grass. Fruity, herbal taste with notes of flowers, spices and bitter-sweet hints of gentian lingering in the background. Surprisingly light body, fairly dry. Refreshing and nice with balanced notes of gentian.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy to murky yellow with a lacing white head. Grapefruity and citrusy/orange aroma. Flavour is sweet and light citric with a delicate pineapple hops note. Light yeasty note too. Refreshing fruity and light citric. Goes into a more muddy flavour experience for each sip, but remains rather fruity into the finish.

Bottle, 75cl. It pours a slightly hazy, yellowish golden body, with an off-white head. Mostly fruity aroma, with a tiny sourish note escaping the glass. Pale malt and grains in the flavor, some sourness there too, and fruityness. Fruity-sour finish. Medium to thin in the mouth. Quite disappointing, but not bad. Mediocre at max, and not worth the price. (The price isn’t part of my score.) (080411)
