CamAleLeon

The portrait

The CamAleLeon? Our American Pale Ale with poetic origins, brewed for the 25th anniversary of the Zelig bar (UNIL). "25 years, a quarter of a century. The chameleon enters its second age. It then meets the Nebula, from which the CamAleLeon will be born."

In the glass, this creation reveals itself with its perfectly calibrated 5% ABV and 28 IBUs. Solidly hopped, it releases generous citrus aromas – as if an entire orchard had been pressed over the vat. Floral notes complete the picture, creating a rainbow of flavors that evokes memories of encounters, music, and joy.

It's a refreshing American Pale Ale that tells a story. The story of an encounter between a 25-year-old chameleon and our brewery. The result? Something that transcends the simple definition of "beer" to become a complete sensory experience.

The story

This unique creation was born from a special encounter. A chameleon—metaphorical or real, person or event—was celebrating his 25th birthday when our paths crossed. From this collaboration was born CamAleLeon, described as "neither a beer nor a child" but a liquid rainbow of memories.

Citrus and floral notes, the perfect balance between generous hops and drinkability, all combine to create a Pale Ale that celebrates this mysterious encounter. A beer that carries within it the essence of 25 years of "encounters, music and joy."

The final word

CamAleLeon remains a unique creation in our history. An American Pale Ale that proves that the best beers sometimes come from the most unexpected encounters.

For the few who have tasted it, it remains that suspended moment where poetry meets hops. A liquid rainbow that reminds us that every beer has its story – even if some remain deliberately mysterious.

Cheers! 🍻
