Bertho

Beer, like people, can be reborn.

Cervejaria Colorado’s Bertho, named for the tree that produces Brazil nuts, has been hanging around for a few months, and appears to have aged well. The first time around it was quite sweet, but now the flavors have mellowed into a woody caramel corona bursting forth from an epicenter of effervescent nuttiness.

Those flavors also mask the 8% ABV, although it’s given away by the pleasant post-sip warmth, which also gives the impression of barrel-aging.

From the home-country of the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, Bertho has aged and its flavor profile has been reborn. Thus, I christen it Re-Bertho.
