| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Pale gold with a quickly gone head. Aroma is a light biscuit, with a bit of pepper. Light hops, not that sweet, a bit forgettable but unobjectionable. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours a thin white head with yellow/gold color with effervescence. Aroma is dry, yeasty, slight musty, grain/husky. Taste is slightly sweet light malt/grain/husky, dry yeasty, slightly musty. Some continental hops bite. Lager-ish blended with some mild Biere de Garde. So it’s kind of at the border of the style, but nice. OK carbonation. drfabulous (1240), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Wow. What a letdown. Almost no taste other than being a bad pale ale. There is no biere de garde in this one. Too bad since they make a great imperial porter. Big disappointment. jason (1621), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark ornage bodyw ith thin head. Aroma was very faint, some yeast and spices noted. Flavor is lightly earthy, yeast, orange peel and some other spices that I had a tough time to tell what they were, or flavor, because everything in this beer was very faint and forgettable. I wouldn’t say this is a bad beer but it has nothin going for it. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 10, 2008 my first for this style. i liked this very much. if this is a bad example of the de garde, i am certainly going to seek out a good example because i enjoyed the hell out of this. pours a golden yellow color with a small white head, aroma was sweet with some citrus to it. flavor was the same and very refreshing. pforei (338), USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 9, 2008 Bottle from Foodery. Straw gold color, fleeting head. Very little aroma or taste. Slight grainy malt. Summer beers are often blander than Summer movies.
