St. Sylvestre 3 Monts

Brewed by St. Sylvestre
Style: Bière de Garde
St. Sylvestre-Cappel, France

Bottle from offy near the other place, Merseyside. Pours a deep golden Colour. Whoa ! what an amazing head ! Malty sweet hop aroma. Full bodied and warming. Some zingy malt and bitter hopiness. Nice fruit. Incredibly flavoursome and rich. Tres bien !

Bottle - This was a very nice looking pour, slightly golden amber, with a small but somewhat puffy head, and has that cloudy unfiltered appearance in the glass. Yeasty and peppery, with a lingering citrus acidity in the finish. Not bad.

Bottle. 75cl. Clear medium to dark yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, citrus, moderate to heavy yeasty. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (120308)

Re-rate (yesterday after years) Bottle 75 cl, bought @ Van Uxeem) Clear yellow-golden color, super creamy white head. Aroma, sweet, malts, light spicy hop perfume. Medium body. Taste malts, sweet, hops, finish with some bitterness. Good.

Pain in the ass to uncork. Winey aroma, sweet fruit, lightly yeasty too. Golden color, pretty clear, nice white head with nice lacing. Yeast in bottom of bottle. a little over carbonated, aging this would be a good idea. Flavor is spicy, alcohol prevalent. Carbonated kick on back end.

Pours a hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet and crisp. No specific aromas that really take over. It just smells sweet and crisp. Flavor...hmm. Complex. First flavor I get is some spiciness...almost like cayenne. Still sweet though. A touch of bitter hoppiness in the background. Further on there are hints of citrus, lemon and oranges. Vanilla, banana, flowers. Champagne. This beer is all over the place with flavors. Smooth and creamy texture. Certainly doesn’t taste like 8.5%. I don’t know what more to say about this, its one-of-a-kind.

Kind of a pain in the ass to uncork, as the bar really tamps down the cork. Pours a billowing white cap of a head over pale golden clear body; nose of starfruit, warm bread, yeasty tang. On the palate a smooth melange of banana, pear, amber malts, and mildly drying, flowery hops. Alcohol is barely apparent in the somewhat peppery finish. The biere de garde style has been a little hard to pin down so far, but this beer is helping. Really enjoying this.
