Nice almost perfect clear amber color. Not too light or too dark. 1/2" head that becomes a thin foamy layer leaving minimal lacing. Smells of sweet malts and yeasty bananas. Some spicy floral thrown in for good measure. A light hint of apples and pears. Taste is very good. The apples come to the front on this one. Maltiness follows close behind bringing pears, caramel, and spices with it. Nice tight little bubbles help create a very nice feel. Like lightly bubbled velvet. Very good drinking to be done with this bottle. Light enough to enjoy many, and often. The alcohol can creep up on you, though, so watch yourself!

Light copper, medium head, and high lacing. Some corny aroma. Highly carbed with a sour green apple flavor, bitter aftertaste. Dry winy flavor. This tastes a lot like that Duchess sour ale. Not as bad as it could be.

Bomber from ericandersnavy. Thanks for another rare (to me anyway) brew! Pours a hazy apricot with a decent off-white head. Mild aromas of funk and citrus. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is mildly sweet malt, yeast spice, and light funk. Seems maltier than most biere de garde I can recall, but it drinks extremely well.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy with a fluffy cheesy head. Aroma is earthy and sweet. Taste is rice and caramel malts with some bread and sweetness. Light brown sugar. Creamy and just ok for me.

This one was surprisingly tasty. Nice fruity aroma with hints of malt and yeast. Flavor is fruity and sweet, with notes of caramel and honey, as well as malt and yeast. Light and crisp finish.

Amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of honey, apples, and grain. Taste is of sweet malts, fruit, toast, and toffee.
