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.

Tap at Borefts 2014. Poured a clear dark brown with no life. The aroma is yeast, light red berry fruit. The flavour is light sour, light sweet with a light watery raspberry cordial like palate. Light bodied with flat carbonation. Really poor I have to say, despite the nice label. This did nothing for me at all.

Sampled @ Borefts 2014. Nice red, almost fluorescent red color, virtually no head. Smell sourness and red fruits, I presume blueberries. Taste is sour, sour fruits, red fruits so not really sure where the blueberries are but it’s a decent sour Radler.

Sampled @ Borefts 2014. Opaque muddy brown color like it came from a nearby ditch, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a touch of bitter, a touch of hops, a touch of dark malts. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm not really convinced.

Sampled @ Borefts 2014. Dark brown color with a deep dark red glare coming through, average sized beige to slightly brown colored head. Smell and taste malts, sweetish, clearly raspberry in there, quite nicely mixed with the stout flavors. Decent body and carbonation.

@Borefts 2014, Fin de Merlot versie, inhoud oogt caramelbruin met lichte witte ring in het glas als kraag, niet veel dus. Aroma van caramel, witte wijn, rogge/graan. Smaken zijn die van een stevige graan, iets pittigs, caramel, droge afdronk, aardig wel.

Thanks to Thirstybird for sharing! The nose is great fresh floral. The beer starts floral-bitter, fresh. The mainpart is quite extreme bitter, fresh-smooth. Nice floral bitter beer!
