Description
Il y a encore quelques années, Michaël Novo construisait des installations chimiques pour un bureau d’études. A la nuit tombée, sa cuisine avait les allures de laboratoire. Il expérimentait des recettes. En 2009, l’idée de créer une brasserie artisanale germe dans sa tête. Un an plus tard, le 1er avril 2010, la Brasserie du Mont Salève ouvre ses portes.

Clear red colour with no head. Aroma and flavour are full of sweet grape sugars. There's an underlying tart funk that really makes it easy to drink.

On tap at Beer O'Clock, Chamonix. Straw coloured with a white head. Fruity and yeasty with slightly spicy notes. Moderate sweet with nice, classic saison flavours and a light acidity. Tasty and enjoyable.

Draught Tan-greige head, dense & fine over jet-black beer. Dry spicy hops & dark dry malts; faint aroma of Madras curry. Dense head hampers perception. Sweet, spicy - again that curry powder flavour, turmeric. Main taste is once more, sweet roast. Slightly peppery too. Warming up, stoutacidity appears. Oily, viscous but not as much as some in this segment. Alcoholheat, long lasting flavours, good carbonation. Again one that is definitely good, yet still doesn't succeed to convince me for a full 100%.
