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 a light copper color with a white head. Aroma is malts, apples, and some sour notes. Flavor is malty, tart apples, grainy, and earthy.

Bottle. Sweet sugar and light musty aroma. Hazy pale yellow with a big head. Sweet peach/apple and musty malt flavor. By far the sweetest biere de garde I’ve ever had.

25.4 oz bottle. Clear orange-yellow with a touch of white head. Butterscotch with yeast and light lemon. Some funk as it warms. Lemony with a sour sweetness. Light carb with a tang.

750 shared by theisti. Poured to a red wine glass. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a froathy white head. Very subtle straw and earthy aroma and flavors. Light palate, with lots of carbonation. Really straight forward.

750 ml Bottle, enjoyed with tjthresh. Pour is hazy yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is quite faint, though get some grass and earthiness as it warms. The taste is a bit sweet and malty, a touch of bright hops and a nice clean finish. Overall, a nice clean brew, though nothing I got too excited about.

Pours a hazy gold with a light white head. Kind of syrupy looking. Interesting array of aromas. A unique spice aroma that I cant seem to put my finger on. Definitely a little caramel or butterscotch, with some funk as well in typical biere de garde fashion. Taste has a bunch of cinnamon in it and less citrus. There are some orange characters, but more spiciness than anything. Not like alot of biere de garde’s Ive had. Interesting.

Bottle from a Duvel glass. Sweet aroma with a little spice. Pours nice hazy yellow with bright white head that lingers a short while. Flavor is sweet and fruity (peach/apricot) with a little minty spice. Body and mouthful are refreshing if slightly light and very slightly watery. Overall, a nice refreshing blond but not outstanding.

Fluffy quickly dissipating head. Beautiful clear copper color. Light but earthy smell. Earthy happy aroma. Kind of wild but complex. In my mouth it felt like spiky velvet. Very pretty semi-full mouthfeel. This stuff is smiles in a bottle.
