Commercial Description:
Made in the tradition of artisan brewers, Sans Culottes is a blonde beer sur lie. Probably the best bière de garde for the uninitiated to start with. Packed in a 75 cls bottle with a wired-down cork, Sans Culottes sports a brilliantly eye-catching label showing a revolutionary soldier proudly wearing his pantalons, having wisely forsaken his culottes for the coming struggle.

Pours is orange with no head. Aroma is herbal and flowery. Flavor is where this one loses points. It starts out very bready and yeasty but then gives way to a overpowering sourness. I actually pucker after taking a sip. I probably won’t try this again.

Thanks to Wohlfs for adding a style to my list. Golden yellow with little head. Very skunky aroma and flavor with a smokiness to it.

Blonde frothy headed beer with a fermented fruity aroma which reminds me of apricots. The flavour is fruity first with a sour finish that adds a slight bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Bottle: Sour Euro-lager aromas. Pours a transparent gold with a small white head. Bland Euro-lager flavors with a light smokiness in the background. Light sweetness in the finish. Introduction to the biere de garde genre and if this is typical of the style, I find it rather boring.

Pants, no pants I really don’t care. Nice amber colored beer with a long lasting white head. Excellent lacing. A little funky in aroma. Thin in body. Slightly sweet in taste. Touch of the funk in taste. Fair.

Poured golden straw with a beautiful off white head...quite possibly the most beautiful looking beer I’ve had in a long time...smell is of dough, lemon, straw...taste is quite strange...initially very hoppy and yeasty giving way to malty bread stuff...quite interesting...my first of this style, but not the last...

Sparkling golden with a foamy white head. The aroma is big and fairly complex. Quite fruity and floral with some light malt. The flavor is more malty and yeasty than the aroma. Still a bit fruity but not overly sweet. Dry medium body. Alcohol in the finish. Decent but there are better biere de gardes to be had.

Clear coppery gold, OK head. Aroma is slight, initially bready, with an herbal note. Grassy, herbal flavor initially, almost hinting of infection, but it is sometimes difficult to tell in these farmhouse style ales. The herbal notes give way to a honeylike malt. Bit of a yeasty note on the finish as well. Disappointing overall.
