Hazy golden color; big head. Some malt aroma. Good body strength, ordinary flavors, some spiceness from the yeast, but rounder than a Triple. Strong bitterness. Pleasant.

Bottle picked up from Carrefour, Lille, 30-07-07. Poured murky warm gold colour, with large erupting white head of foam. Having had two other Biere de garde’s in recent day’s I’m getting to notice the style now and this seemed quite typical of the style although the alcohol did become a little invasive at times. Some toffeeiness in the mouth, bit malty and sweet but fine.

Aroma of stone fruit and yeast, almost berry or cherry. Deep reddish amber color with a beige head that was vigorous and laced a minim. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, something of a tart cherry flavor. The malt is something yeasty or musty or earthy, and the finish is kind of balanced between the malt flavors and some fruit bitter, like sucking on seeds or pits. This real ale needs to be slowly sipped. Fantastically rewarding.

Bottled. A dark orange beer with a dying beige head. The aroma is sweet and very lightly beery combined with light hoppy notes. The flavor is a mixture of acidic and sweet - but in a very subdued way, combined with light notes of malt, and fruit, but no real signs of hops, though the end is still nicely bitter. The carbonization tickles the tongue.
