This French farmhouse-style ale has tart fruitiness from the yeast and a sweet maltiness from the grains. A modern re-creation of a classic European beer style to celebrate St. Louis’s French heritage. Pairs well with fruits, cheeses, and cured meats.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours a cloudy amber with a dissipating off-white head. Lightly tart fruity nose. Medium body, quite fruity with a slight tartness - probably from the yeast. A little overcarbonated. Dryish finish. Decent. 200210

Bottled (0,75 ltr, HBF, thanks Markku K). Clear amber color, small white head. Caramel, cheese, mild hops in the nose. Alcohol, hops backed with caramel maltyness. Not really biere de garde, more like "imperial amber ale": Balanced.

750 ml bottle shared by my friend Matt. Pour is brown, copper and orange - slightly hazed, with a one inch white head. Aroma of spicy citrus and sweet honey matliness. Nice pepper note. Taste is sweet honey caramel maltiness mostly, floral white pepper spiciness behind that. Yeasty. Palate is medium, grainy, with a fair amount of carbonation. Interesting, and well done.

Candied fruit, orange peel nose. Touches of grassy hop? Bright copper gold color. Modest head. Sweet candy flavors, sugary. Little spicy alcoholic kick in the finish. Very sweet.

Bottle. Spicy with notes of funk, this is an interesting biere de garde. Hazy golden body with a big, white head that is mostly lasting. The aroma presents notes of clove, pepper, grain, mustiness, dust and hints of toast and citrus. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The beer finishes moderately bitter and dry. Medium body with a somewhat grainy texture. Lively carbonation. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. Pours hazy bright amber with a nice beige head. Aromas of sugary caramel and a light touch of funk. Medium body with frothy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is slightly barnyard, over roasted malt and some spice. More malt than most Biere de Gardes. It is fruity, and it finishes towards the dry side. Very chewy and tasty. Leaves a very good result in the mouth.

I just don’t understand, I have had this beer 3 times now, three separate bottles and they have bee all bad. And its not that I just don’t like it, I am pretty sure its the damn DMS or maybe its some nasty phenols (but I think its DMS), either way all three bottles have had it and I know I can’t be the only picking it up. Its there and its in the way. Otherwise looks fine, dark amber and cloudy.
