Description
Since 1926, brewing has no longer been a matter of chance at Bénifontaine, but rather is an art which has been passed down from generation to generation. From microbrewery to family business, Castelain Brewery has had a loyal following thanks to its artisanal beers and its respect for tradition. Thoroughness, patience, authenticity: these have been the key words for Castelain bières de garde and seasonal beers since the creation of the brewery.

75cl swing-top bottle from ID Stock. Pours gold with a fine mist, large frothy white head that grows over the glass after pouring. Quite sweet, doughy, spicy.. bit too sweet and lacks a pleasant yeasty side but generally sippable.

Grassy and fruity aroma, some malt and bitterness. Taste is bitter, on grass, kind of resin, with a bit artificial aftertaste.

0.50l can. Aroma of wheat, banana peel and coriander. Pours cloudy straw color with thick creamy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing citrusy, grainy and yeasty, following is mild spicy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild bitter. Light to medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Tender beast…
