Our biere de garde is inspired by the French farmhouse tradition of brewing strong provisional beers. Amber hued with a balance of ripe fruit and yeast-derived spice.

Murky. Fruity, a bit of sweet grain, light spice. Medium bodied. Finishes sweet. Not really doing it for me.

32oz growler from the brewpub. Pours a fairly dark amber with some lightly lacing white head. Nose is quite soapy, proofing dough, yeast, fairly gristy, orange, light candy, hints of clove, almond liqueur. Flavor is nice, sticky dough, more fruit than the nose lets on, apple, pear, orange, a little quince paste, apricot. Creamy finish. Very nice. Hides the 7.1% well.

Growler shared by Travlr at the April 2014 Charlottesville tasting, 4/5/14. Pours a clear copper color with a thin frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bready malt, caramel, spice, marzipan, candied fruit. The taste is marzipan, caramel, toffee, candied citrus. Medium bodied, low carbonation, mild lingering spice.

Nice well packaged biere de garde. Pours cloudy red with some head and lacing. Some light doughy yeast and a little earthiness. Palate is a touch on the watery side. Finish is a little wine like with sour and light sweet fruit notes. Soft carbonation. Love that these guys keep going for the uncommon styles. Tap at brewpub.
