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.

Bottled, from La Cave à Bulles, Paris. Cloudy pale amber, rich head. Rich perfumy Sorachi Ace aroma with peach, yoghurt and elderflowers. Mid sweet with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel, The awkward metallic sensation prevalent in most very hoppy low alcohol beers is kept under control. Just a whiff of rusty steel, the rest is all Sorachi Ace hops. Marked, somewhat resiny bitterness. Remarkably tasty for its size.

Bottled. Hazy light orangish colour with a frothy white head with good lasting and nice lacing. Aroma is hoppy with citrus and floral notes but strongest than a normal IPA. Pungent sensation in the mouth, strong bitterness with a decent duration. Dry final with a astringent sensation in the throat.

Bottle @ home thx to Benzai. Hazy very, very pale yellow with particles, big chunky white head. Smells very hoppy, bitter, fresh, grapefruit.. Very nice. Tastes quite bitter, fresh, hoppy and all nice... But the carbo wrecks it a bit. It’s still okay, but less carbo would help this beer so much. Quite thin, but the bitterness and taste masks this.

Alkoholischer Geruch, würzig alkoholischer Beginn, etwas herb. Dann flacher werdend, spritig, unausgewogen. Zum Ende etwas runder, was aber immer noch nicht den Eindruck eines durchdachten Bieres vermittelt. 8/6/7/7//6
