3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml can in Dakar, Senegal. I finally found a beer I like in Senegal. Pours a gold copper color with a nice tan head and some good lace. Nose is fairly tame, but has nice characteristics of light fruit, toffee, nuts, and some earthiness. Taste is mildly sweet and fruity. Feel is light and rewarding. A mellow, well integrated beer that is one of the first Biere de Gardes that I have tried.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
0,33 l. bottle in to a snifter. Clear, amber colour with a small, white head that lasted. Malty aroma with bread, caramel, herbs, something earthy and used tea-bags (!?) Light bitter malty taste, with bread and earth notes. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft carbonated with an astringent finish with malts and that weird used tea-bag flavour. I liked this one despite the unusual flavours.
