About

CH'TI Blonde is a classic Bière de Garde from Brasserie Castelain in Bénifontaine, northern France. First brewed in 1979, this blonde farmhouse ale embodies refined balance between sweet malt and floral hop character. The beer pours a bright golden yellow with a full, persistent white head. The aroma reveals malty and grainy notes with floral sweetness and subtle toasty hints. On the palate, soft malt sweetness and honey flavours are complemented by fine bitterness and pleasant spice from the hops. The finish is dry and hoppy, providing welcome contrast to the initial sweetness. Despite 6.4% ABV, the beer drinks with elegance and finesse rather than heaviness. A characterful ale that rewards careful tasting.
