Description
Je m'appelle Emanuele Corazzini et j'ai créé NovaBirra en 2008. Passionné de bières artisanales, je suis allé à la rencontre des brasseurs audacieux et innovants de nos régions. C'est à leur contact qu'est née l'idée de proposer des cours de brassage afin de partager mes connaissances de la bière. Au fil des années, j'ai pu faire découvrir notre patrimoine brassicole à de nombreux enthousiastes. Et pour certains, NovaBirra a aidé à la réalisation de leur rêve: créer et commercialiser leur propre bière!

Depuis 2011, je brasse mes propres bières: Big Mama Stout, Big Nose Triple, Holy IPA et Seed of the New Grace.

Je soutiens également des projets de personnes ayant suivis mes cours de brassage.

Pours black, small, dark tanned head with very short lifespan. Smell is low in intensity, has a certain tart side to it, as well as a mild roast. Sharp, overall, and not as intense as hoped for. Taste is intense roasty, bitter, mild tartness, some chocolate malts, fusel alcohols, burnt malts, very sharp. Medium to medium thick body, medium high carbo. Cocoa is noticable, but not as much as hoped. This beer could benifit from less alcohol, thicker body, lower carbo, and more balance. It certainly ain't bad as it is now, tho.

Flaska från Beergium. Bärnstensfärgad, aningen disig med högt smutsvitt skum. Fin doft av tropisk frukt med passionsfrukt, aprikos, ananas, nektar, tallskott och citrus. Fruktig smak men också rejäl beska. Trevlig

Fruity hoppy, minimally floral aroma, minimally bready, grainy malty basis, hints of white grapes, unripe nectarine, kiwi fruit, a touch of oat flakes. Taste is minimally dry, fruity hoppy, minimally sweet and bready, caramel malty basis with a floral honey touch, hints of green apple, kiwi fruit, white grapes; smooth and soft palate, gentle carbonation. Rather sweet and malty for a Saison.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Shared with Anke.
Pours cloudy dark brown with a big, frothy, tan head. The aroma contains (milk & dark) chocolate, coffee (with milk), caramel, some red fruits. It tastes medium chocolatey sweet and light to medium toasty bitter; slightly dry and roasted finish. Medium body, slick/oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Good complexity and taste.

Keg at BD Soho. It pours hazy orange - amber with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is sticky, perfumed, tangy orange marmalade, peach, candied peel, earthy, wood and bergamot. The taste is bitter, oily orange, pithy, zesty, resinous, pine, earth, grass, pepper, bit of cardboard, boozy kick and a bit of toffee with a drying and pepper finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fair so-so for the style.
