beer is not 3, it is choice. really cheee dog. you should try this beer if you can find it. it’s truly a wonderful thing. the alcohol burn at the end makes it extra memorable. if you like Coors Light - stay away, not for you.

dwyerpg (3578) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - OCT 29, 2009
A bit of citrus, but a certain bit of funk in the aroma. Cloudy orange yellow. Flavor is malty and with funk. My beer senses were working as I penned this as a biere de garde. Weird but good.

Malty_MacHops (197) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Good, not incredible depth, but interesting. The aroma is of apples and caramel with a little barny funk. The appearance s beautiful. Golden amber with a thick lacy white head, small trailing bubbles. The taste is sweet apples with caramel. Not a lot of hop or depth. The palate is clean but sweet almost cloying. Not a session beer, but good with tomato soup, ham and cheese.

Flowerly aroma, light fruity, aromatic. Very fruity flavor. Notes of malt, cassis, yeast. Well balanced, nice touch of hop in the end. Very nice, complex and flowerly brew.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - NOV 3, 2005
75cl bottle from Auchan, Calais. Boy was this good. Bored SilkTork all night with how good this is. Nouveau indeed. Amber colour with thick white head. Nice citrus caramel aroma. Soft in mouth with spicey hop and good pale malts. Excellent blonde/biere de garde/ amber beer. As good as a beer of this style that I’ve had (although not sure what style it should really go under!)

johndoughty (2946) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - DEC 22, 2011
Bottle. Blonde, clear with low carbonation. Fruity and bitter.Resembles a cross between a lager and a bitter. Not what you usually associate with this style but still very nice.

Bohm (6) - FRANCE - JAN 22, 2012 does not count
Une bière de garde bien agréable, avec des arômes fruités et nuancés par une levure dans le style "brioche", des saveurs d’épices et de malt blond, pour une faible amertume. Assez douce au regard de nos bonnes bières de garde : la maturation a d’avantage fait travailler les saveurs que la force.

CampbellWilson (533) - SCOTLAND - JAN 4, 2006
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Gold with diminishing white head. Sparkling. Aroma of peppery spice, apricot, honey. Medium mouthfeel, slightly sweet but with a pleasing hop finish. Much better than their previous blonde.

tlind2 (839) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 18, 2008
750 ml bottle. Clear golden color, frothy white head with some lacing. Aroma of sweet spices and hops with some earthy tones. Bright fruity flavor with herbal notes and a touch of alcohol. Oily mouthfeel, but I’m not complaining. Can’t really say how this rates against other examples of the style, but I found it agreeable.
