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.

Pours fairly clear blonde, small white head. Scent is buttery, oak, brett, full on . Milder malts. Taste is mildly tart, brett (clearly) milder, yet persistantly noticeable, butteryness. Diacetyl might be a cause, or the chardonnay barrel ( I've never had this much butter in Chardonnay though, let alone in a Chardonnay BA beer) . oaky, providing a hint of vanilla. A bit of bitterness, dominating the 'feel' of the finish. Medium to medium high carbo. Decent, but too buttery - especially in the finish.

Kakao und trocken röstmalziger Beginn mit leichtem Hang zur Säure. Würzig, Banane selber ist nicht erkennbar, etwas schokoladig, mild bitter. Nett, weit weniger spektakulär als es sich anhört. 10/8/9/8/7/9
