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.

Can 50 cl. Pours an opaque, deep red with a creamy and lacing, pink head. Distinct Amarena cherry aroma - totally artificial and quite enjoyable. Rich, sweet body, distinct Amarena cherry notes, with a slight underlying bitterness. Has very little to do with beer, but as a flavored cherry drink it’s quite enjoyable. 010924

6,8% ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
