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.

75 cl bottle (8%) @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 2017
Lots of foam when pouring. Aroma is quite light with cocoa and hints of sugar. Rather foamy palate. Flavour is dry and somewhat sour with some roasted notes and hints of coffee. Quite typical Belgian stout, the cocoa or alcohol are hardly observable.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 06.04.2018
Aroma has floral notes, some biscuits, hints of caramel and soapy citrus. Flavour has strong floral notes, some spices, herbs and orange. Grassy hops in the finish. Foamy palate is too high on CO2. Spicy and weird.

330ml bottle from beer-city.be
Porus dark orange with a large white head. Aroma of biscuity malts, some crisp hops, hints of spices and yeast. Taste is crisp, malty and fruity with hints of spices and yeast. Finish is smooth, yeasty and slightly fruity. Okay, a bit musty and unbalanced, but fruity saison/Belgian IPA hybrid.

21/VI/13 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 6/IV/18 (2013-572)
Clear deep orange beer, big creamy yellowish head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, peaches, some pineapple, bit malty, toast. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: some citrus first, then pretty fruity, pineapple, herbal, grassy bitter hops, soft sweet malty base. Aftertaste: citrus, bit spicy, bitter hops, some toast, bitter dry ending. Complex yet very easy drinkable! Love it!

25 cl. draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas. All ratings so far in French, cool. Je suis désole que je va arrêter cette tradition et va commencer en Anglais. Bright amber, orange with a big, creamy, slight off-white CML head. Huge bitter orange peel, nose, light caramel, bitter EU grass hops, light pine resin, very floral, hay, very long bitter grass finish, light medicinal, caramel,… mix of EU & USA hops it seems. Taste is very bitter floral, herbal, huge, huge grass, brutal BE hops, hardcore, reminds me a bit of very fresh De Ranke Hop Harvest 2012, light caramel, pine, slightly medicinal, touch plastic, overkill BE hops in a very fun way, light orange peel, very fresh,… Body is lightly oily, sharp carb. Apparently Mosaic, the new USA hop, hype, not really getting this one fully, still not over Sorachi Ace.

Draft @ Arden BrewFest, merci Manu. Orangée-ambrée, col beige. Arôme donne de suite un bouquet agréable et frais venant des houblons. Le tout oscillant entre fruité, agrumes et herbacé. Palais est sec, note de grains, malt en balance avec ce caractère type de pilsner et caramel, pointe râpeuse du houblon-épice. Le tout tire sur des agrumes subtiles avec ce côté renfermé et encore une amertume qui se manifeste en fin de bouche avec une pointe de grains poussièreux. Une bière qui, comme le dit Manu, oscille entre une amber et IPA. Ici, deuxième bière utilisant ce houblon Mozaic que j’ai eu l’occasion de tester. Ses qualités tant à l’arôme que au goût sont subtiles et complexe et en font un houblon sympa pour un usage multiple.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell, London during the Birthday Celebration of Jack & Leighton - many thanks to Matteo for this one! Pours black-brown with a large, dark tan foam head. Lightly tangy dark malt nose, lightly floral, with notes of citrus. Moderately tangy flavor, light to medium sweet, with a bit of ash and burnt toast. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly tangy dark malt finish with more ashy roast. Decent.

Bottle at Jack & Leighton’s birthday celebration, thanks to teorn88. It pours darkest brown with a small light tan head. The nose is varnish, pine, light roast, coffee, toast and a touch of chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, coffee, toast, varnish, pine, earth, coffee, faint acidity and light tangy fruit. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A tasty hoppy stout.
