COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Style
As a Bière de Garde, Acadie offers the style’s prominent malty aroma. A freshly poured beer is highly carbonated and bronze colored with a nice, thick off-white head. Malty with an underlying caramel sweetness, Acadie finishes medium-dry. The restrained use of continental hops provides its balanced hop bitterness. The restrained use of elegant Strisselspalt and Saaz hops offer a perfectly balanced bitterness with a very discreet hop aroma. Acadie is our summer/fall seasonal beer.

Story
France’s elegant contribution to the world’s beer styles is Bière de Garde - translated it means “beer for keeping” and has been brewed on farms there for centuries. Just as the French proudly brew their traditional ale, as descendants of survivors of Le Grand Dérangement we brew an artisanal version we call Acadie - in memory of our Acadian homeland. Acadie offers the smooth roundness of artisanal farmhouse ale, thus this French style beer is terrific paired with most any cuisine.

Leighton (6989) - London, ENGLAND - FEB 25, 2013
Bottle at home in CT. Pours perfectly clear amber-gold with a creamy, mostly white head. Simple sugary malt aroma, light toasty bread notes, some honey and caramel. Medium sweet flavor, rich toasty sugars, ripened fruits, dates and raisins, toffee, sweet bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with robust sugars, lightly syrupy, more sweet bread and dried fruits, hefty caramel, light grapes, just suggestions of leafy bitterness. Not bad overall. The character is mostly just sugary malts, but there is some depth and nuance to the malts that keep the beer interesting.

Poobah (201) - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - FEB 8, 2013
Sweet, floral nose with a light amber pour and a thin head. Malty and slightly-carbonated mouthfeel with a mild hoppiness that is almost immediately noticeable followed by a persistent butterscotch sweetness.

bleeng (1383) - Houston nowhere near Beersel, Texas, USA - JAN 18, 2013
12 oz bottle purchased from Calandros Baton Rouge LA. Pours bright copper, clear with a very small white head. Decent carbonation. Nose is grainy, rice. Taste is slightly malty and a bit syrupy, with a slight hint of spiciness. Not much alcohol presence. Average all around the board on this one. Not sure where the Biere de Garde comes from.
