Description
The brewing company of the Montseny was born with the desire to provide a craft beer of the highest quality: our beers are handcrafted and natural. We are a microbrewery with a productive capacity of 3.000 litres in each development. Through the system of English traditional elaboration (with maceration by the method of simple infusion), the production process is virtually manual. Because of these unique features of elaboration, handcrafted beers are produced. In the brewing of the Montseny we bottle natural beers and unpasteurised. The carbonic gas is generated naturally by the yeast that is contained in the bottle. We can say that they are living beers that evolve over time. The alcoholic fermentation is a traditional way to food processing to lengthen their preservation allows us to not add any artificial preservative to the beer. Our microbrewery specialises in beers of the family of the Ales or high fermentation, unlike the majority of the national productions, which are of the family of the Lager or bottom-fermented. It is recommended to drink our beers, if well fresh, less cold than the Lager.

Color dorado, radiante y claro, espuma blanca de conservación media-alta. Aroma fresco a pan, cereal y malta, con cierto fondo mineral. En boca es fresca, ligera, maltosa, refrescante, notas de cereal y malta, con algún toque cítrico, final amargo y limpio. Una German pils bastante de puta madre, de las que no te puedes beber solo una.

Nice copper with a creamy head. Big toasted bread notes, sweet toffee, a bit of chocolate, brown bread finish. Malty and slick bodied. It’s a heavier beer for the style but it’s rather tasty though it skews sweet.

330ml bottle from a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain. Pours a semi-clear pale gold color with a giant white head and annoyingly great retention. Fair lacing. Light pale malt aroma. Mild pale malt flavor. Tastes a little tired. Something is off. Light body and medium-high carbonation. Not bitter. Disappointing.

Can, 6.4%. Distinct fruity aroma, grapefruit especially. Cloudy dark golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is quite bitter and has a distinct grapefruit note. Also notes of tropical fruits and light caramel, but the bitterness outflavours most of it.

Very deep brown with a small head that really didn’t wanna form. Notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, roasted malts, slight fruit, a touch floral, burnt malts, coffee grounds. Medium to full body. Dry, bitter finish. Exceeded expectations.

Can, 6.5%. Good fruity aroma, a little rough on the nose. Cloudy golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is fruity and juicy with a mild sweetness. A little rough hoppiness, but it fades away quickly. The aftertaste has notes of vanilla and grassy hops.

Bottle, 5.0%. Good fruity aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Frothy white head, but ok stable. The flavour is quite bitter. Ok caramelly malt notes, but it is hard to taste behind such a high and, to be honest, fairly astringent and unpleasant bitterness.
