Super Nova
Brasserie la Malpolon

DECEMBER 2024.
Celebratory keg for the 3rd anniversary of the Roman distributor "Pour".
33cl glass (€7 at the pub).
Brewed with only French hops in bloom: Strisselspalt (native variety of the Alsace region, delicate floral and spicy notes and subtle herbaceous and citrus hints, very close to what a European "noble hop" provides) and Triskel (cross between Strisselspalt and the English Yeoman, more pronounced fruity and floral notes, balanced bitterness, subtle citrus and spicy nuances).

Lemon zest and petals aroma.
Straw yellow color, medium opaque.
Just the right foam: not abundant but of the right consistency and that does not disappear, but remains to act as a hat.
Medium body in the mouth, almost completely absent carbonation, I would say quite flat.
Rustic taste, of toasted cereal, field grass, straw, hay and dry slightly herbaceous finish (chicory, more than hops).
On the tongue a light herbaceous hint, on the palate feel "funky" (hay, grass, light wood - hints that remind of the farm), fresh and pleasant.
More Farmhouse than Saison (in my opinion), in any case, a very balanced product that leaves a fresh final sensation that quenches thirst and encourages another sip.
