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.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per l'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il piano sottostante si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul palato si riportano impressioni di miele, pane, erbaceo e agrumi.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is candy sugar, dark malt, dried fruits, touch of orange, caramel, dried plums, spicy notes, caramelized sugar. Sweet candy flavour with a moderate bitterness. Above medium body. A bit too sweet and sugary for my taste, but certainly a decent Winter Ale that's not too spiced.

Аромат солодовый и сильно хмелевой, слегка цитрусовый. Цвет лишь слегка туманный, желтый без намека на пену. Вкус на удивление сильно напоминает обычную ипу. Хорошая фруктовая горечь и аромат американского хмеля. Послевкусие более солодовое с оттенком сладких ягод и хорошей горчинки. В целом неплохое пиво которое сильно противоречит своему стилю.

Аромат нормальный в целом, немного пряностей, намек на каракмель и изюм, горсть солода, нотки меда и травянистости. Цвет темено коричневый. Пенка маленькая, почти ее нет. Вкус средний если честно, не очень сбалансированный и яркий. По началу даже очень неплохо, много карамели и жаренного коричневого сахара. Позже уже странная сухость и горчинка, карамель почти уходит, появляется алкоголь и тяжесть от него. Снова пряности и мед, но без баланса. В целом норма пиво, не более.

Bottle at the DCBeer bottle share. 2012 vintage. Kind of lost some of its edge, a little cardboard. Light grape, sweet malt. Aroma. Flavor is white. Grape, sweet. Held up relatively well. Still good carbonation.

750ml bottle from lowcostbeer. For some reason it was in a mouldy bottle so couldn't read the BBE. Look and aroma looked fine. Murky amber, small off-white head, thin layer of retention. Aroma of caramel, raisins, citrus, sweet malts. Taste start a bit thin but then the malt and hop flavours build. There is a bit of a roastiness to the malts I wasn't expecting. Good level of complexity to this.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Hazy amber coloured brew with an firmy nutty taste and hints of caramel. Kind of greasy like beer but pretty darn good too.
