Castelain Blond Biere De Garde

Purchased at O’Reilly’s, Hilton Head Island, SC, USA. 750 mL bottle corked & caged.
Interesting. This drank like a “baby” Saison. Slight earthy farmhouse nose and tastes, but much sweeter with less funk and dry character. The typical robust, rustic notes were toned down to give a definite pineapple sweetness that was quite pronounced.
Good yellow color with nice head and lacing and some chill haze.
A good “intro to a new style” beer with plenty of crossover potential. Easy to drink, with the abiding memory being a light sweet, summer drinker.
