Bottle. Golden clear colour with a fizzy head. Nice aroma of malt, yeast and hints of spices. Nice tasty flavour of malt, yeast, caramel and some spices too.

Color is deep golden with some light white head. Smell is papery, spices, fruits, and yeast. Taste is spices, yeast, fruits, and some to be missing somthing. Watery.

This is one of the better white beers I’ve had. Even though I’m not a fan of this style of beer I can tell this was made with quality. Has a citrus aroma with wood like hints like it says in the description (something different), and malts. Nice light fruity flavor. Not too much of a bitter aftertaste in the end. Not too bad of a brew for a white beer. Good job.

First beer at the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival in Georgia on 10/18/08. This one is a winner. Golden in color and a yeasty nose. The flavor was dominated by yeast and light fruit, apple, pear and citrus. Dry finish. Listed here as a Biere de Garde, but reminded me of a Saison.

750 ml bottle from Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, VT (November 2008), served at cellar temperature in a Duvel glass. Big fluffy lasting head laces generously when it fails atop the translucent amber-gold body....grassy, initially pil-like fresh aroma on more exploration offers some funkiness, but also a touch of skunk-like unpleasantness....the body is moderately sweet to start, some tart notes coming in midpalate, with a lightly sour, milky character towards the finish, a bit of vegetal character....I get the feeling that the wheat and especially the rice did not favor this beer; on the whole, so-so.

(750ml bottle, BB 03/28/09) Pours a clear golden body with a medium-sized off-white head that quickly diminishes. Aroma of apple, caramel, hay, alcohol, metallic, black pepper, and mustiness. Flavor of alcohol, yeast, caramel, and apple.
