750ml bottle. Slightl cloudy, golden colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy and strawy aroma with a cautious fruity touch, hints of apricot, peach and some peppery yeast spiciness. Taste is mellow fruity, notes of apricot, mirabelle and peach, minimally dry, dusty, yeasty overtones. Soft, gentle, nice.

Typical, commissioned bière de garde that won a bronze medal on a contest for French regional products. Upon opening the bottle, I was confronted with one of the most serious cases of gushing I’ve ever seen - it kept litterally flowing for minutes. After having managed to catch some beer in my tulip tasting glass, the foam staid firm and rocky for a long time. The beer itself had a cloudy ochre blonde colour and an aroma of green apple, dried apricot, pineapple, melon, lemon peel, lavender, soap, bark, ginger... Soft grainy taste, bit neutral at first, gentle honeyish malt sweetness, subtle fruitiness, spicy yeast accents becoming more bready towards the end and finishing in a late, leafy hop bitterness, thought the long dry ending also has to do with the strong carbonation, related to the gushing phenomenon. Not the best bière de garde I ever had, but the spectacular gushing did create some excitement, at least...

Hazy white with a mediums sized white head and good lacing. Aroma and tastes of wet towel, cardboard, floral and spices Decent

@zebf 2014 - Hazy, pale yellow colour. Aroma is floral and wheaty. Flavour is soapy, peppery, spicy. Very clean and refreshing.

Herbal and grassy beer. Quite malty, with a grainy touch. Nice, but a but too modest.

Refrigerated 75 cl green bottle from rare beer club corked and capped poured into Trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with medium white head. Aroma is soft yeast, medium body, well carbonated, and some lacing. Taste is light fruits (mostly apple and some pear), orange, spicy, and floral yeast. This is good, easy to drink, and wouldn’t mind having this again.
