Keto Aurum

Tap to rate

Birra del Borgo's big IPA — 'Keto' takes its name from the ancient Roman word for hops, making this a beer with genuine historical lineage. Bold, golden, and intensely hoppy with a pronounced tropical fruit and citrus character, it is the stronger, more assertive sibling to the landmark ReAle. At 7.5% and 50 IBUs, Keto Aurum is an uncompromising expression of Birra del Borgo's hop-forward craft philosophy.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
