This is great for a fruit beer. Excellent hoppy bitter blend with the fruity tastes. This is everything a fruit beer should be, subtle on the fruit, heavy on the hops and malty taste. Helps that its fruity Kiwi hops. Apricot is definitly there in the aroma as well. Nice bitter aftertaste. Some sweet malt as well and mango haning around. On tap at bellwoods brewpub.

Smells great. Some floral hops and bitterness. Citrus, even some anise. Pours kind of like a lager, like lot of good tripels though. A little cloudy. Taste has quite a lot of alcohol, bitterness and a lot of monkish pleasantry. Bottle from first sale at the brewery.

Pours with thick creamy head, clear amber in colour. Smells a little metallic with some sweet malt. Taste is soft on carbonation with an aftertaste that fills up the oak taste with a little barley bitter. There’s some saison-like yeast taste here reminiscent of some of Bellwood’s other lines. The beer grows on me as I drink it, but I think I actually liked the un-barrel aged Biere de Garde better. Maybe should have let it age for a while. Bottle from the first batch of this one at the brewery.
