A refreshing ale with a strong character; its fruity taste comes from barley grown in the Nord department of France and its highly aromatic yeast, its bitterness from a specific variety of hops.

75cl bottle. Pours a pale golden yellow colour, big foamy white head and aroma of biscuity malt, fruity grain, yeast. Taste is very sweet biscuity malt, caramel, toffee, grain, some tart fruitiness with hay & grassy notes and a slightly metallic earthy hoppy bitterness. Creamy syrupy mouth feel, medium bodied, well carbonated, boozy warming dry bitter finish.

Clear blond with big thick head. Aroma is bready and oaky with some wood. Flavour has initial malty notes, later it becomes dryer from the wood. Inbetween there’s a little bit of green apple freshness and acidity.

Bottled, 0.75l. Clear pale gold color with large dense white head and fizzy lively carbonation. Aroma of spicy hops, yeast, fruits and malt. Taste start sweet malty, followed refreshing yeasty with floral undertones. Mouthfeel is spicy, alohol note quite present, while finish is moderately bitter. Medium body, thick texture and average carbonation in palate. Shared it with Gombi, but could easily drank whole bottle...

75 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 07.11.2009
Aroma is somewhat heavy with floral notes, some ripe fruits and hints of alcohol. Flavour has grain, some gluey notes, grassy hops and hints of fruits. Alcohol on some sips. A disappointment.

750 ml corked and clamped bottle. Pours clear gold with a large white soapy head with good retention. Aroma consists of barnyard funk, banana, earth, doughy bread. Taste is sweet and savory, like fresh-mown hay; finishes dryly. Not bad.

Love this beer! From prying off the wire and popping the cork, the aroma comes on strong. Two finger head, and beautiful flavor of bread and grass. Soft carbonation and lingering bitterness on the palate. A perfect bottle to sip on a hot summer’s day....

Bouteille 750ml. 2010, veillie 2 ans. Couleur dorée, mousse blanche laissant un anneau et une faible dentelle au verre. Arôme de citron, un peu d’alcool. Goût d’agrumes, de grains et de pomme rappellant un cidre. Texture un peu liquoreuse avec une carbonation élevée.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Very interesting method of securing the cork with a staple looking piece. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some good spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of grape, apple, hay, grass, pepper, honey, earth, pear, lemon zest, bread, and light fruity funkiness. Nice and well balanced aromas with good strength and complexity; very pleasant. Taste of apple, grape, honey, herbal, hay, grass, pear, lemon, pepper, earth, clove, bread, and cracker. Light earthy tartness and herbal spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, hay, grass, earth, pepper, clove, bread, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of fruity flavors and earthy spiciness; with nice complexity and no cloying flavors. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly crisp and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed on the finish at all. Overall this is an excellent Biere de Garde! Great flavor complexity and balance; and extremely smooth to sip on. Highly enjoyable offering.
