Sep 4, 2004 75cl BBD 03/2005 Awesome heady rock of white...terra cotta copper blondish. Cork must earth sex spice. Lagerale of the highest order, the best of both worlds maybe. Malt, spice, fruit, must, bitter, alcohol. Reminds me of La Trappe Triple...but less sweetness & alcohol, plus more hops. Drinks with a slight sulfuric hint of its lager origins. Super smooth and sexy. Not sure that this would age well(that BBD is pretty accurate, I think), so look out for the bottling date.

Aug 28, 2004 Very average. Golden color, white head. Light nose, a bit of yeast, some spice. Flavor was similar, pretty empty. What was there wasn’t too bad, it was just too watery.

Aug 7, 2004 This is a good Biere de Garde. Popped the the cork and instant aroma of pumpkin seed. Light, wheat, yeast, and fruity flavor. Finishes crisp, clean and refreshing.

Aug 4, 2004 Updated: Aug 11, 2004Deep gold color with lots of carbonation. Huge white head and decent lacing. Aroma is apples and wheat. The flavor is nice and subtle. I can see why SilkTork raved on this one. The flavors are lightly spicy, like ginger ale with notes of bread and a touch of sour cherry in the background. Excellent.

Jul 31, 2004 Bottle. Fresh, delicate and very yummy! Oh yes. This is the most drinkable and tasty Biere de Garde I’ve yet come across. Great mouthfeel - no nasty off flavours - no artificial carbonation flavours, no stale hop flavours, no metallic flavours, everything just tastes fresh and wow! Gentle wheat spice - not dry or overbearing, just cleanly citric and refreshing and exciting. A real feel good beer of the highest order. Did I say it tasted fresh and delicate? O yes! This is excitement. This is great. This is my beer of the month!

Jul 24, 2004 Sometimes seeing other people’s ratings is comforting. I mean, just knowing most of the world thinks this is as unimpressive as I do is kind of nice. Gold, thin head with decent lacing. Nose vaguely yeasty. Flavor has a bit of yeast, some spice, a hint of funk and fruit, but it’s mostly watery and empty. Thin and a mite watery. Eh.

Jul 2, 2004 Bottle at Delilah’s on Lincoln Avenue, Chicago. Got this on a whim...something small, light, simple and cheap....and it fit the bill. Bright orange, medium head; sweet orangey nose. Flavor overly sweet and a bit too yeasty, very simple, but refreshing on a slightly chilly June night in my favorite city.
