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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Somewhat unclean malty nose with a little fruit and some slightly ashy touches. Medium-bodied, extremely dry with a very discreet malty feel - in spite of its name. Rather bitter and hoppy finish. 200608

Cloudy orange color. The aroma is quite nice, earthy hops, even if too light. The body is too weak; ther is some toffee flavor (very dry) and a strong bitterness (this one as well with a too long hop infusion). Chaotic.

Hazy blond color; thin creamy head. It’s indeed a hoppy ale, but, maybe because shaken too much, it has a too strong yeast character, both the aroma and flavor. The aroma has also a light vegetables touch. To be tried again.
