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.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown, almost black. Ok head. Smell is mild sweet, and some aspects of roasted malts. Taste is rather intense, very roasted, malty, sharp, mild bitterness, has some cocoa ( not to be mistaken for chocolaty ) not very sweet. OK MF and carbo. Nice

Bouteille 33cl. Couleur orangée/dorée, col fin crémeux blanc. Arôme est plaisant offrant un agréable bouquet aux effluves américaines, houblons type C rappelant le Chinook; agrumes - pamplemousse assez subtile qui tire légèrement vers le Colombus. Le grains reste présent sans être trop marqué avec un rétro de ’pop sickle’. Palais est légèrement malté, note cara pâle rappelant bien un caractère très européen. Pointe épicée sur la fin avec une petite rondeur du malt Vienna. Fini sec dont le côté houblonné fruité est très bien restitué, pas mal de notes fruitées centrées sur les agrumes. Une belle réussite, une version cannette?

Hazy orange amber colour, small and stable frothy off-white head, fair lacing. Aroma fruity, sweet apple, plum, caramel, hay, light citrus. Taste is light heavy sweet and medium bitter, at first malty, toffee, followed by ripe fruit, spicy and alcohol notes, with long duration. Full-bodied, oily to creamy texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste is sweetbitter, fruity and spicy, alcohol present but in a mild manner. Needs some time to develop its potential but than you get a complex, elegant and well-balanced strong ale, very good.

Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Dynamo. Clear golden, small white head. Nose is very weird yoghurt, weeds, elderflower (more vegetable way), milky yeast, light funk,… Taste is vegetable, plastic cheese, vegetable elderflower, milky yoghurt,.. Body is cheesy plastic. What is this? This one is lost on me, overly milky yeast, straight up spoiled yoghurt notes, vegetables, American cheese (hop – I supposes) notes. Definitely expected more from this one. It is a shame.

Hazy amber beverage, with a nice foamy white head with good retention. Smells like a typical Belgian pale ale, with yeast, fresh white bread and some citrus. The taste is nice, again, typical for a tripel. Maybe a bit harsher than the more famous ones, and with the alcohol being more present.
