Apr 12, 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with a large, off-white head and lots of tiny carbonation bubbles which settled down after several minutes. Light, pleasant aroma of malt and a touch of yeast. Flavor is also a bit on the light side with malt and yeast both present in the flavor. There is a very light flavor of saltine crackers at the finish along with a light alcohol burn.

Mar 20, 2007 Bottle sampled on 9/20/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of sweet caramely malt and some earthy character. Body starts sweet and malty with decent balance and a smooth slightly toasty finish. A decent Biere de Garde.

Clear copper color and a full blooming head. Soft malty aroma with slight hoppy notes. Flavor is thick, but soon thins out into an astringently bitter and sour mixture that leaves a tart sticky residue on my tounge. Only the second Bière de Garde I've tried, but nowhere near comparable to the first.

Mar 1, 2007 A very nice amber color and a good head. The aroma has nice floral notes of fruit, caramel and yeast. I find the same notes in the flavour together with notes of spice, licorice, light sweetness and alcohol. The finish has citrus notes. It’s a nice and average ambree.

Feb 13, 2007 Updated: Oct 10, 2009Brought this from France in a very heavy backpack and a railroad strike in Paris, but it was worth the effort. A little maltier than most Bière de Gardes I have had since but very enjoyable. Page 152 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 415 out of 500 Classic Brews to go.
