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.

Very fine and well crafted stuff…

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20131030) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had roasted malts, chocolate, hint of vinegar and mildly Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, dark chocolate, Belgian style yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste had cocoa and bitterness. A beer with nice taste but confusing aroma.

Small rim, veiled pale amber beer. Dry hops, garden herbs. Dry, hoppy, bitter-herbal. Feels very carbonated, rather slick, medium bodied. Nice, but De Ranke can do much better. Nose is all but absent.

Big slightly fizzy mediumlasting head. Aroma is pretty neutral, dark malts, wet grain, grass, hay, hints of cocoa. Taste is likewise, dark malts, hay, wet grain, weeds, grass. Little bitterness, watery harsh mouthfeel. What the heck is the point of this crap?!

10.08.2013, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Nice brown creamy longlasting head. Aroma is rich, dark malts, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, caramel, rubber, broth, dark sugar, vanilla. Taste is slightly dry and grassy, dark malts, grass, licorice powder, cocoa, green soap, hay. Medium bitterness, thin mouthfeel. Fair enough, a little boring when it comes to taste.

750ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu

Pours pitch black with a smooth head. Aroma of roasted malts, sweet chocolate, cocoa and hints of vanilla. Taste is carbonated, smooth and sweetish with roastiness, cocoa and hints of vanilla. Finish is smooth and roasty with lots of carbonation and sweet syrup. Okay.
