Commercial Description:
A biere de garde or farmhouse beer. It's brewed exclusively with French pale malt and German hops. A long boil develops a deep amber color and malty complexity. A small amount of black pepper in the boil contributes a subtle spiciness. The beer is fermented with a wonderful monastic lager yeast and the finished beer is bottled-conditioned and packaged in 750 ml. corked bottles. The bottle wears a label of beaux art. It features an image of an abstract painting by Canadian artist: Christine Haley.

My first BdG rating: Faint pear aroma. Cloudy golden, no head. Musty pear and orange flavor. Alcohol content quite noticeable, Leaves nothing on the palate. If this is representative of the style, I’m not a fan. Since the brewer is out of business and has been for some time, I’m guessing it is just this beer, I look forward to trying another.

Bottle sent to me in a trade from SpringsLicker. Thanks for the incredible generosity. It is that kind of generosity that makes people enjoy this hobby so much! My 7th Biere de Garde Rating...Championship! Beer pours a hazy golden yellow with a nice fizzy head. THe aroma is a mix of sweet bread, cereal grain malts with some spice and a nice citrus profile. Nice light pale malty sweetness followed by a little oxidation that seemed to do this one well. Light citrus, other sweet fruity flavors. Nice carbonation, drank well. Was very enjoyable.

Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad. Pours a hazy amber with a huge bubbly white head. Rich aroma, of malt, caramel, citrus, hops. Big taste, of malt, citrus, honey, pine, and grapefruit. Lingering clean bitter-sweet. Very nice.
