Apr 18, 2009 expected more from a biere de garde, though the aroma was good. The appearance was OK, nothing much. The taste was quite a deception, reminding me of a refined Lager. The body was watery, lively carbonation, metallic finish and light body.

Apr 6, 2009 A solid beer overall but somewhat lacking in flavor in comparison to Belgian abbey ales.

Feb 14, 2009 Lightly clouded gold beer with a white soapy head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is small and nondescript but offers some yeast and wheat notes. A dry bitterness is the first thing tasted. There is also some bubblegum, spice, pear, and funky earthiness. Peppery feel and that bitterness is long lasting. This style is always interesting and this beer fits right in. Unique but not a great beer.

Jan 24, 2009 Updated: Jan 27, 2009. These biere de gardes’s are broad, but kinda paradoxicaly very similar. i’m drinking this right now,. . 1 of the better biere de gardes,just by keeping things real and eazy.

Jan 24, 2009 Its from France! I havent had too many French beer. Meh. To sum it up Id just say "Belgian Lite". Everything is so tamed compared to the beer style it was modeled from. Why would THE wine producing country feel the need to tone down things like aroma, mouth feel, and TASTE in an alcoholic beverage is beyond me. Why?

Oct 19, 2008 11.2 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Clear pale orange with lasting flat big bubble head and some lace. Mild honey and spice aroma. Honey and apricot melon sweet fruitiness with very mild tabacco bitterness and finishing spice. Light watery body and medium-low carbo. Might have been better in 2005 when it was bottled. I can’t believe how much old beer is for sale in New York. Anyhow, not as good as Leffe and twice the price.

Aug 29, 2008 My notes on the St. Druon are terse, so we’ll keep the review terse too. The smell is soft and yeasty, with a mineral sheen, corn, mushroom and lemon. It makes an interesting combination, especially with the mushroom. The flavor is very boozy and sweet, with the added flavors of wheat and yeast that are so dominant in the aroma. In fact, the whole flavor is on the precipice of being overpowering. Sweet, but the harsh alcohol side makes this a mean beer to sip.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is mild and smooth. A few hints of wheat. Flavor is hm. Intriguing. Has a distinct flavor, that I can’t quite put my taste buds on. Tastes a bit like an Abbey Ale, only a bit lighter, less malty, and less alcohol flavour. Subtle hints of banana, pear and maybe...hmm....allspice? Coriander? Not sure on this. Pretty good though.
