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.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dry cracker malts with some hoppyness. Flavor is a ok hop to start then comes some pils like malt and finishes dry and bland. Little to no aftertaste. Just ok and better than the rest I’ve had from this brewer.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is an ok roasted malt/ coffee combo. Flavor is is about the same. Some roasted malt and coffee with a finishing sourness. It’s ok I guess and I’ve had worse.

Pour is a dull orange with a friggin huge white head. Aroma has some hops along with a ok caramel malt. Flavor is weak and watery with the hops only showing up very late and even that can’t save this. Way to thin and light.

330 ml bottle. Hazy golden body with a diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild malty with some grassy/herbal hops. Flavor is refreshing bitter, mild malt and hint of citric fruit. Medium body. Kind of interesting beer, but not an IPA in my book. Not very bitter, but feels refreshing. A bit unusually hop flavor as well, something between grassy and light fruity. Pleasant aftertaste.
