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. Hoppy nose, citrus, chocolate, licorice. Nice woody, burnt flavor, chocolate, coffee. Light, thin, crisp. Good. Really tasty for such a light beer.

33 cl. bottle sampled during Zwanze Day shenanigans. Black, little tanned head. Nose is big hops, grapefruit, sweeter side of roasted malts, caramel, faint grapes. Taste is grapefruit, caramel & roasted malts, blended with coffee, touch blackberries, light grass & herbs in the back. Creamy & full body, def. not 3.5 % ABV. Very impressive esp. considering that it is probably not super-fresh. Very neat. (Thx! for sharing people!)

Bottle at home 8th September 2013. Quite a smokey little number, little too much iodine, aroma is smoke and bacon. Taste is smoke, quite nice, palate a little thin and some heavier carbonation. A little like Buxton, smokey and the bandaid, but not as good

Head: white, small, bubbly, poor retention. Colour: golden-amber, cloudy.

Aroma: strong citrus, pine, raisin, a bit of malt too.

Taste: faint citrus, moderate to strong piney bitterness.

Great aroma and bitterness. Very pleasant and does not feel too light for its minuscule abv.
