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.

33cl bottle ("Mont Salève Bitter", 4,1%) (BB 14/1-18). Pours hazy golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with herbal notes, light citrus and hints of herbs and malt. Moderate sweet and turns out fairly malty in the end too. Body is on the lighter side. Medium flavour intensity and a light, but rather pleasant bitterness. Feels slightly messy, but quite drinkable.

Bottle bought at Tilquin English Beer Festival 2018. Pours hazy dark brown, blackish, with a quickly thinning, tan head. 'Dark' aroma of earth, coffee ground, fondant chips, dried (black) tea leaves, (warm) chestnut, beetroot, yeast, raspberry. It tastes light to medium fruity sour, and light roasted bitter, balancing hints of raspberry, coffee & fondant; a touch of malty nuttiness in the back. Bit tart, bit roasted finish, some earth hops with retronasal earth & (coffee) roast. Light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. A succesful hybrid, this coffee-infused Stout/Berliner Weisse, well balanced.
