ARRGH!!! The best of France.

Amber coloured. Fruity, earthy nose and flavour. Very overpriced!

Very nice deep amber colour. But the taste is nothing to write home about.

amber copper colour, beautiful head, as with most french beers sweet malt tastes predominate with some fruit notes.

Relatively dark beer with a fairly long lasting head for a beer of this style. The aroma has touches of aniseed, but the flavour is relatively standard. A slightly winey, sweet beer.

RE-rate: liked it a bit better the second time i had it. Amber with a a tinge of red, slight spice aroma, and quite nice on the palate (but quite simple), bit of spice, a tad sticky, bit of caramel in there, its quite decent, reminded me of De Koninck, but not as good and a bit sweeter or something, i like it, but obviously there are better Biere de Gardes.

My first biere de garde. It’s like a poor effort at a Belgian strong ale. Smells strong. Rich red/gold colour, with a decent amount of carbonation. Syrupy sweetness, and vague amounts of bitterness. It’s ok for a French beer. If it were a footballer, it would be Frank Le Boeuf - trying to be cultured, but not quite there.

Adequate but not great saison/biere de garde that’s a tad malty and a bit bitter. Something odd about the flavor. I’m not keen on French beers so far.

Sweet, fruity aromas with a dark amber appearance. Little head. Sweet malt with earthy background. The yeast gives this beer some complexity but the beer itself lacks some character.

Very dissapointing. Absolutely no head. Sweet carmely taste and a hint of sourness (almost like the bottle was out dated). Very thin mouthfeel. I am going to have to buy again from a different location.
