About

Ch'ti IPA from Brasserie Castelain in Bénifontaine represents a French brewery's bold take on the IPA style, rooted in the heritage of traditional bière de garde. At 6% ABV, it strikes a balance between the fruity, floral character of American hop varieties and the malty, golden foundation of French craft brewing. The aroma reveals citrus and floral notes, while the palate unfolds with fruity esters and a soft, balanced bitterness. The finish remains clean and dry, without aggression. This is a beer that respects both traditions—neither fully American nor entirely French, but a deliberate fusion of two brewing philosophies.
