Description
La Mentounasc is the story of three friends in their thirties who have been passionate about beers for several years and who decided to dive into the world of craft beers and take part in this booming sector. It is in Menton in the Alpes-Maritimes that we bring our “beer to the building”.

Located on the borders of Italy, the Principality of Monaco and the County of Nice, Menton benefits from a beneficial subtropical microclimate which makes it almost ignore winter. A true garden city whose king citrus fruit is undoubtedly the Menton Lemon. All these ingredients are deliciously brought together in our beers.

But La Mentounasc is above all about taste: our beers are brewed by hand and traditionally. Without artifice, using aromatic malts and hops to produce unique sensations and experiences. Our beers are unfiltered and unpasteurized in order to express all their flavors.

Pours hazy and slightly orange ish. Strong smell highly reminiscent of French guimauve (traditional, handcrafted marshmallow) due to orange blossom.
