Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is malty and musty. Flavor is malty, yeasty and very musty. Taste like the moss covered barn it was made in. Very earthy and floral. A very pleasing brew that will open your eyes to farmhouse ales. Well recommended.

Orange-brown body, thick beige head. Dense caramely aroma with layers of breads and hints of toffee. Nice biscuity, bready, toasty body, sweet, with brown sugar and caramel, toffee, and a touch of raisin. I’m actually quite surprised by the complexity and ingenuity displayed by this tasty beverage. There are some similarities to La Bavaisienne, an excellent beer worthy of its rank as the highest-rated Biere de Garde.

33cl bottle from Auchan, Calais. Deep red colour with no head. Strong aroma of raspberry jam. If you want alcoholic raspebeery juice, then this is it. Some sourness kicks in towards the end. Bit of raspberry seeds flavour too. Although I liked this and found it drinkable and would have it again, I’m not sure that I can give it a higher score compared with other fruit beers I have had

33cl bottle. Golden/orange colour with disappering white head. Slightly pale malty nose, some citric hop, good bready malts going onward. Impressive. Good hoppy finish. Excellent blond beer that I will certainly buy again next time I am in France

(Bottle 33 cl) Very beautiful amber coloured beer. No real sediment, but tiny bits of floating impurities. Light brown and quite stable head. Very malty with distinct notes of caramel. Sweetness balanced well by the hops. The potent alcohol is well hidden. 021103

(Bottle 75 cl) Fully golden, clear beer with a rather small head. Very, very fruity nose - almost flowery too. Fresh in spite of a very warming alcohol. refined and wellmade Bière de Garde. 091102

(Bottle 75 cl) Pale golden and slightly hazy with a tall and rather stable head. According to the label this comes with added spices - no mention of which though. It doesn’t have the typical Belgian notes of coriander and orange peel. The nose actually indicates cinnamon and cardamum! Surprisingly full-bodied with no bitterness. Interesting. 130802

(Bottle 75 cl) Pretty, golden with floating impurities and a tall, frothy head. Sweet and lightly perfumy with an alcohol glow. Initially light, soft and mellow with a rather low carbonation. But som late fusty notes come creeping up on you giving this a very artisanal touch. 101101
