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.

Bottle at Pibar, Lausanne
Hazy light amber color. It has a quite strong tea character, very dry, a bit lemony (melissa) and minty.
Good, but not impressive.

Almost clear dark amber beer, pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Rich malts that never get stodgy. Caramel - toffee, slightly dark and bitter. Thin malt cream. Nice spicy marmalade on the back end. A savoury vibe develops along with a little aniseed. Semi dry spicy finish. Nice barleywine, it’s full of flavour and has some muscle but remains light.
