Jun 30, 2009 2008 vintage, bottle #180 of 250, aged over a year. Pours a hazy, glowing, golden-amber color with a small, foamy, off-white head. Soapy sheets mostly rejoin the body, leaving little spotting behind. The aroma shows a nice mix of yeasty bread, sourdough, light candy malt, and a trace of minty, hint minty Fantôme-esque yeast. Floral, lightly peppery hop notes lend a tiny, spicy kick. Flavors include sweet, light caramel, bread dough, and a hint of spicy, yeasty tartness. Slightly peppery on the finish. Medium-plus in body and smooth, the palate finishes semi-dry and lightly prickly. Everything that’s actually brewed on the island has impressed me, and this is no exception.

May 27, 2009 The aroma is caramel, toasted malts, brown sugar, citrusy hops. The appearance is an attractive red gold color, strong white head. The flavor follows the aroma exactly, not as sweet as expected (not as sweet as their French Counrty Ale). The finish is caramel sweetness, light hoopyness. Decent overall.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear orange with a decent head. Aroma of lots of fruit, grassy earthy hops, yeast, funk. Taste is fruit, with citrus, apple, and spices. Very nice, easy drinking, complex brew. Mouth is relatively light with plenty of carbonation. Overall, a very interesting and solid saison/BdG.

Apr 6, 2009 On tap at the Publick House. Pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt and floral hops. Flavor of sweet apple and honeysuckle. Light in the palate and easy to drink. Very nice, actually, and not too sweet. I liked the regular Biere de Garde better, but this was nice too.

Apr 5, 2009 Tap at SPH. Aroma of cherry, pear, apple, lemon, bready malt, light candi sugar, nutty yeast, floral/herbal hops. Flavor brings those hop notes to the forefront with the sweet, bready malts and fruits supplying the base. Sweet and smooth with a caramel and red fruit finish. Very nice.

Mar 23, 2009 Had on tap @ brewpub in Southampton. Pour was hazy orange golden. Tongue is honey, malty, with plenty of grassy, herbal and leafy notes. Body is medium full. Feels earthy, grungy but crisp and almost refreshing.
