Bouteille de 75cl trouvée chez Leclerc à Lille Fives. Couleur blonde dorée, légère mousse blanche et carbonatation assez faible. Nez fruité. Goût houblonné et fruité, texture aqueuse. Petite bière de base qui passe bien, n'a rien de sensationnel mais se boit bien. Bonne bière de soif en résumé.

75 cl-flaska köpt av vän i Frankrike. Mörkt gyllengul, krämigt vitt skum. Fruktig och lite blommig och tvålig doft som mest drar åt äppeltvål. Frisk, fruktig och blommig, ganska torr. Bra kropp med rustika sädsmaker som matchar den annars lite eteriska frukt-och blommighet. Åpple, päron åt det tvåliga men inte kvalmiga hållet. Annorlunda men trevlig Bier de Garde.

Medium white head. Clear still coppery body. Fruity toffee aroma with floral notes. Sweetish floral earthy caramelly taste with strawy vanilla fudge notes. Reminiscent of some Lithuanian beers. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy caramelly straw aftertaste with vanilla fudge and toffee notes. Unusual. A little sweet and slack, but still interesting. (0.75l bottle, from wine monopoly, Strømmen.)

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 24C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown. AROMA: predominant mix of slight alcohol and a medium low malt sweetness with notes of a doughy, bready character. The alcohol is slightly peppery. No hop perceived nor fruitiness. APPEARANCE: golden color and clear. medium-large off-ehite head, creamy, with medium-low retention. some lace formation. TASTE: predominant malty sweet flavor with notes of bread and a slight touch of honey-like malt. low bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish, with a bready character. PALATE: medium-low body with a very faint texture. faint alcohol warmth. no other palate sensations. excessive carbonation. OVERALL: a nice biere the garde, with a predominant bready and alcohol aroma, with a sweet component. the sample was overcarbonated (gusher).

Bottle from notes. Nose is sweet, honey, elderflower touch of lemon. Taste follows with lots of honey and sweetness. In common with the style there is little hops which ultimately limits it’s appeal but a class leader.

Bottle at home in London. Pours perfectly clear yellow-gold, effervescent, with a large, frothy white head. Nose holds lots of white bread, dough, some vanilla frosting. Medium to big sweet flavor, lots more simple, doughy-bready pale malts, hints of orange cream soda, white sugar, hay. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light warmth to finish, some overripe lemon, wet dough. Starts alright but I’m not crazy about the finish.
