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.

Can, 0.33l. Hazy copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head. Good retention, medium lacing on the glass. Usual nose, caramel, herbs and citrus fruits. Thin body, soft carbonation. Light and watery mouthfeel and texture. Mild bittersweet taste. Aroma of caramel, grains, herbs and citrus fruits. Mild floral. Not much of complexity, pretty much straightforward. A bit dry, medium finish. Pretty much average APA with relatively low bitterness. Not bad but no need to hold your breath for this one.

Hazy blond with fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of bittersweet hop notes. A bit resinous, a little tropical fruit too.
