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 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.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a moderate sized white head. Mild aroma, a hint of spicy yeast and herbs. Taste has light, sweet malt, a touch of citric fruit and herbs, some spicy yeast and low bitterness. A bit thin bodied with moderate aftertaste. Almost elegant in a way but end up a bit too week and easy.

330 ml bottle. Unclear yellow golden with a creamy head. Loads of banana, clove, pineapple juice, banana bread, dried banana, some lemon, Belgian yeast, coriander seeds.Banana sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry fruity sweet finish. Banana overkill, feels more like a Hefeweizen, not a Saison.

Drunk at pizzeria Attilio in Naples. Dark amber, small head, lightly farmhouse nose with copper malt hints. Great flavor, balanced bitterness with moderate body, the malt flavor is nice and complex with some lemony acidity notes. Great one.
