Bottle Bobby brought to Where the Wild Beers Are. Different from the Imperial Vin Bu Merlot as this is aged in Oak and not wine barrels. Pours reddish pink. No head. Nose/taste of funky acid, oak, funky lemon, grape and sour funk. Lighter medium body.

Forgetfu Tasting at ChrisOs. Thanks to Forgetfu! Hazy gold beer, residual white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Light fine carbonation. Light bitterish St Clemens. White wine tang. Very light floralness. Orange and lemon rind. Light dry finish. Pretty tasty.

Thanks to Jeremy! Tasting glass form 750? ml. bottle. Hay murky orange with no head. Nose is sadly a bit reminiscent of vomit with rotting peaches, lactic, strong sourness, oak. Taste is far nice luckily ripe to overripe peaches, lactic, oak, lemon, quite sour, vinegar, dried apricots, wood, sour, funk, lactic,… Thicker, lower carbonation. Flawed but still very nice & very unique concept, neat. De Garde really seems to like flirt with disaster & take real risks, admirable considering that they do make some pretty nice beers.
