Commercial Description:
The 3MONTS beer : A wonderful return to nature, with its flavour of yesteryear, this is a beer that was drawn from the wooden metal-circled barrels to fill so many mugs in our Flanders bars! Its bitterness comes from our hop fields scattered throughout the region. Brewed by infusions, it is an old-fashioned rising beer made with strong and hearty Flemish hops. Fermented using top yeasts, like the barrel brewers of yore and clamped like bonderised barrels.

bought in Lille:So I though while I was in France i would have to drink some biere de garde. I haven’t found any yet that I really enjoy, I have only tried 3 but there is usually something about a speciality beer that is easily appriciated. aroma is slightly malty, with peppery hops and alcohol. flavor is much the same. blond in color. active palate. okay...

Bottle. Light malt note of straw, moderate hops and yeast of lemon and musty basement with white wine and alcohol in the background. Head is small, fizzy, white with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is hazy gold, with large wispy chunks which dissolve after while. Flavor starts lightly sweet, moderately acidic and sour, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light, watery and has a lively carbonation. It finishes lightly alcoholic. A fruity beer with noticable Belgian attributes

The cork is the original pain the ass to remove with silly mettal holder.Nicer drinking this on French soil than previously in UK . Its such a lagery ’de garde . Like a german Helles with Belgian hops and a woody suggestion in the finish. Its weird to think its over 8 % in this. Wen’t down smooth.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours hazy gold with 3-finger, fluffy off-white head. Nose is dry florals, rock sugary malt, and hopcitrus. Tastes floral, on the dry side, with some hopcitrus, earthy yeasty, and estery notes. Medium, well carbonated palate.
