Sampled at the Kegger. This formed a small head over a straw colored body. The aroma was restrained and delicate but exhibited a yeasty bready maltiness along with some characteristic Belgian aspects to it. Light palate, smooth and easy drinking. This beer is all about is subtleties not its forcefulness.

Pours a bright yellow/gold into a snifter. Very malty, earthy smell -- a little hay. Very little head retention. Very active, fizzy. Long malt finish. Very nice and refreshing.

My first biere de garde and I enjoyed it very much. French in origin, but all characteristics are of a Belgian ale, much like a saison, but there is also complex yeast and malt make this similar to an abbey style beer. Combined, these qualities show why biere de gard is hard to fit into any category. This beer is very floral, with a pleasant light body. Some light fruit flavors.
