Biere de Garde Style Ale
Inspired by our brewery puppy, Hops, Biere de Guard Dog seems sweet enough will a strong malt presence lead by Munich and Vienna malts. But at 7% ABV, it packs a bite. Just ask our delivery guy!
Malts: Pils, Vienna, Dark Munch
Hops: Nugget, Strisselspalt
Secret Technique: Getting barked at while we are brewing

12 oz. bottle from Berkeley Bowl. It pours a burnt orange color with a fizzy off white head that shrinks rather quickly. The aroma has some fresh toasted malt notes, orange marmalade, honey and strong yet pleasant peppery/spicy yeast. Smells rustic and authentic especially for an American version of the style. The flavor is full with toasted malt, moldy orange, apple and pear with some musty cellar-like yeast notes and pepper near the finish. High carbonation. Medium full bodied, but finishes well attenuated although not exactly dry. There’s a good amount of sweetness here, but its balanced by great fermentation character and strong maltiness. Very good!

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Thin, fading white head. Has some high temp/steam beer type aromatics. Zesty aggressive carbonation. Awkward overbearing noble hops. Kind of a mess. Has some musty, earthy tones which could be considered true to style if you search really hard. Maybe a little infected, as I would hope this would be more malty. Not happy that I bought a 4pack of it.

Bottle from Julio’s Fairly clear light golden color with a huge bubbly white head that persists forever. Big fruity notes with plenty of rustic earth to counter. Honey like maltiness, bubbly mouthfeel. Interesting beer, doesn’t really feel like a BdG, but they do call it imperial, still really enjoyed this.

Bottle at the Sampler in Brooklyn: pours murky copper with a white head. Aroma is light banana and other fruit with a good deal of yeast and some maltiness. Very much like a bier de garde. Nice taste. Some funk and light bitterness and a bit of sweetness. Good.

I like this one. Light florals and some citrus with a hint of booze and light funk. Pours golden without much head or lacing. Light sweetness in finish. Good package. Tao at pizzeria paradiso.
