Blending and brewing

A blonde Bière de Garde, Jenlain relies on a rigorous selection of malts and hops, guided by historic know-how. Precise mashing, meticulous fermentation management and sufficient maturation time form an essential triptych, guaranteeing a supple texture and a clear aromatic profile. The work focuses as much on purity of expression as on balance on the palate, achieving a beer that is broad, bright and consistent from the first nose to the last note. The creamy, steady head attests to the quality of the process, while clarity and aromatic stability reflect the care given to every stage. The result is a blonde Bière de Garde whose identity rests on restraint, accuracy and controlled indulgence.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Bright golden, ripe wheat highlights, fine and regular effervescence under an ivory crown of foam.
• Nose: Opens on blonde malt, noble cereal and a floral touch, accented by light honey and gentle spice nuances.
• Palate: Soft and generous attack, round and harmonious core, delicate bitterness that provides structure, clean and persistent finish on malty and herbal notes.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve cool, not overly chilled, in a tulip or goblet glass to enhance the bouquet and preserve the foam's finesse. Poured gently, it gradually reveals its aromatic complexity and becomes more expressive with aeration. As it settles in the glass, the malts unfold, the hops refine, and balance establishes itself with elegance. Store the bottle away from light and temperature fluctuations to preserve its precision and brightness.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: cheese gougères, delicate terrines, poultry rillettes, crisp vegetables and light tapenades.
• Starters: quiche Lorraine, caramelised onion tart, asparagus with vinaigrette, citrus-cured salmon.
• Main courses: herb-roasted poultry, pan-seared pollock fillet, seasonal mushroom risotto, bistronomic regional cuisine.
• Cheeses: young comté, mild tomme, aged Cantal, soft brie to highlight the malty roundness.
• Desserts: thin apple tart, butter shortbreads, almond financiers to echo the honeyed nuances.
