| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé et notes de foin) aux notes florales, de grains de malt pâle, léger de pain avec des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes) ainsi que des traces de maïs sucré. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et un peu croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux notes crémeuses. Léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes, traces de pommes) accompagné de notes d’épices (poivrew très doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés et un léger goût de pain (traces de maïs sucré en arrière-goût). Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux (herbe et gazon mouillée et notes de foin) et légèrement floral jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen et sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales ainsi qu’avec des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes). GRM (1291), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 13, 2008 A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. Aroma is perfumed malt, with lime notes, almost like Pledge. In mouth, a crisp mineral malt with light residual sweetness, light boiled corn, again the sickly perfume notes. A bit cloying. Bottle from LCBO, Spring 2008. Tasted June 13, 2008. DerWeg (783), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Bottle LCBO. Wow I’m rating right after my beer hero LOL. A very light and simple BDG - has light session ale characteristics and some fruit, perhaps suggesting hint pear, Sweet, pleasant and undemanding - though unoffensive I did not feel like finishing it.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 27, 2008 Hazy dark straw. Warm, malty, bready nose with a light herbal hop accent. Very sweet, sugary character with limey overtones and bready undertones. Finishes somewhat thick, quite thick and simple. pintbypint (1028), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2008 330ml brown bottle. Golden colour, head is off white and quite creamy. Good lace left behind. Grassy aroma, some lemon notes with lager like malt present. Sweetish malt is upfront, then lemon peel hop notes appear, some grain notes as well. Ends dry with grass. Body is light with a creamy mouthfeel. Refreshing. douglas88 (1679), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2008 Big thanks to matt7215 for sending me my first Biere de Garde. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. The aroma is full of sweet maltyness. The taste is fizzy and smooth; some dry apples, floral hops, tons of malt, some honey and a bit of metallic flavors. Pretty nice, like a champagne. Thanks Matt. Dedollewaitor (3780), Odense, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 13, 2008 75cl bottle. Pours golden/orange with a fine white head. Aroma & taste is fresh of spices/herbs/grass/hops. Quite sparkling & pretty clean & crisp taste. Like the other Jenlains it does have a metallic or citric note (unfortunatly) OK!
