750ml bottle pours out copper topped with a sand head. Nose is nice light funk earthy notes and a spice. Taste is more of the nice light funk spice citrus.

7.7% A clear amber-orange with a thick light beige head. The taste is honey and malts with big fruity notes and also light cloves. Estery and aromatic. The beer is medium-light in body and dry. Crisp, fruity and white pepper with honey and light biscuit. As these guys went out of business, try them while you can.

Draft - Light sweet carame and a touch of ketchup. Clear cold with a decent beige head. Tastes much like the nose.

On tap at the Brewpub. A bit hazy amber with a white head. Aroma and taste of yeast, "tutti-frutti", some fruit and light grass. Nothing special.

On tap at The Commons. Pours a dark orange with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is orange peel, yeast, spice. Medium mouth, strong orange zest, light spice, dry finish, very good.

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with some good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light bready notes is OK. Taste is also dominated by bready notes with some dry caramel malt notes and a grainy finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. OK for style but falls a bit short on complexity and I don’t think I would been seeking this on a regular basis.

Pours a fairly deep amber orange color. Looks a bit murky but easy to see through. I’m guessing there’s a fair bit of yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle. The head is small to medium in size, white and relatively sticky. Aroma is light caramel malt, herbal hoppiness, mint, grapes, apple cider and some earthiness. The malt seems sweet with a fair bit of caramel and a somewhat bready character. Lots of that grapey, appley sweetness, which is not entirely pleasant. The taste is sweet, herbal and earthy. More apple cider sweetness. The malt flavor could be a lot fuller. It’s a bit stale and lifeless. It’s slightly too sweet. Something about it needs to be cleaned up. It’s a touch cloying, though too thin to really go too far in that direction. The mouthfeel is fairly effervescent and almost light but the sweetness gives a sense of body in a funny way. I don’t much like this one. I wouldn’t call it a very clean beer, which is advertised on the label. That apple cider sweetness gets to me and kills most of the refreshment that I was expecting. That said, it’s not bad. The hops seems nice - wish they were a bit stronger - and I appreciate anyone attempting a Biere de Garde.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 5.3% ABV
Amber color, hazy, with creamy head. The aroma is too light. Dry mouthfeel, but less dry than the otherwise similar Vienna Lager; pleasant caramel flavor with a bready touch; correct bitterness ending with soft fruity esters.
Balanced and clean, easy but pleasant.

750 ml bottle. Pours a deep copper with medium head. Aromas of toasted malts and jammy, fruity marmalade. Pleasant and malty with light flavors of fruit/oranges, toast, and grassy resin.
