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.

Tangerine and a lot of lime. Seems like this keg may be past it's prime. Almost has a partly unfermented vibe. Hazy orange pour with decent head. Light tangy finish. Tap at Roma Beer Co.

Bottle @ some pizza taverna in Rome. Clear amber body under a nice, dense tan head. Aroma has malt, toffee, ripe fruit and some butterscotch. Taste is quite sweet with malt, toffee, ripe fruit and butterscotch as well. Moderate bitterness. Balanced body and same aftertaste. Probably served too old, still decent disregard the butter taste. 48/'

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.
