Description
Il y a encore quelques années, Michaël Novo construisait des installations chimiques pour un bureau d’études. A la nuit tombée, sa cuisine avait les allures de laboratoire. Il expérimentait des recettes. En 2009, l’idée de créer une brasserie artisanale germe dans sa tête. Un an plus tard, le 1er avril 2010, la Brasserie du Mont Salève ouvre ses portes.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris, bb April 2014
Black color, with small head. Basic aroma of roasted malt, burnt coffee, and traces of bread. The mouthfeel is dry, the body weak; it has a straight forward flavor of roasted malts, with traces of milk and liquorice; correct bitterness.
As entry-level Stout, it has been correctly brewed; no thrills though.

Cloudy light blond color with generous frothy head. The aroma is a bit lemony, must be the hops. Dry mouthfeel, yeasty flavor, some yeast spices; strong bitterness.
A bit rough, but interesting.

Muddy blond color with creamy head. Some aroma of Sorachi Ace, therefore lemon and soap, lemon pie, some yeast. Dry and weak mouthfeel, some light malt flavor, strong bitterness, strong lemony hop, and yeast.
It has a bit too much yeast, but it’s a good idea initially.
