Nouveau Départ
Nouveau Départ 2025, our 3rd edition, is this time a blend of a spontaneously fermented beer from 2022 and a seeded beer using yeast we harvested: one isolated from Val-d’Espoir honey (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and a second from an apple (Saccharomyces bayanus).
The beer was then aged in oak barrels. After aging, the blend was macerated with blackberries and larch shoots. The ingredients are sourced from Quebec terroir. Nouveau Départ reveals earthy, fruity and tangy aromas.
The larch shoots add a foresty and citrusy touch. The beer is brewed from raw wheat (35%) and barley malt (65%), with only aged hops added during the boil.
It is bottle-conditioned with organic raspberry honey from Gaspésie.
Serving and storage advice:
- Ideal temperature: between 6 and 12 °C
- Serve: in a tulip glass and stir the lees
- Storage: upright, away from sunlight. Due to the beer’s acidity, prolonged storage could affect the metal cap
- Evolution: this beer with evolving flavors gains complexity over the years, but to fully enjoy the fruit, we recommend consuming it within 3 years of bottling
