Commercial Description:
“Garde Dog” Biere de Garde is unfiltered with a hazy, deep golden to light copper appearance. Brewed with domestically grown French Hops and German Pilsner Malts, it gives craft beer drinkers a very enjoyable, light-bodied, subtlety sweet beer with toasty malt undertones. Garde Dog is the perfect compleiment to lighter fare such as seafood, salads, cheese and Middle Eastern and Indian foods

Bland! Not much flavor, but with some sweetness. Golden color, medium body and decent head.

Likely tap as the rating was in my phone. The beer pours to a pale straw body that’s really filtered with a thin creamy white head. The flavor is heavily to style and has a bready silage and basement thin going on. The aroma is bready with a light grass hop. The palate is mouthwatering and long lasting grain thing with a light tartness.

Bottle: Pours with a slight haze to the golden color and a film of white head. The aroma is fairly sweet with decent malt presence- a bit nutty with a touch of butterscotch in the background and some grassy European hops. Light bodied. The flavor has a light vanilla sweetness and a nutty presence throughout. Softly malty with a biscuit touch and a hint of diacetyl with more nuttiness into the finish. Could be cleaner, and does have some apparent off flavors, but it’s better than the ratings suggest.

Appearance is almost transparent golden with a light white head that dissipates fast. The Aroma is weak not much going on here. Some barnyard funk and some sweetness from the malt but very average and weak for the style. Taste is weak, almost like a macro in it’s flavor. Strange bitter aftertaste that’s not pleasant. Smooth drinking but watery mouthfeel reminiscent of a macro. Not worth the price would never buy this again.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber color. Aroma is yeast, malts, and banana. Flavor is a nice spicy yeast flavor. A quite enjoyable beverage to drink on a cool spring day.

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Barely hazy yellow with decent white head. Very little aroma with sweet spiciness. Looking for a session beer? Keep looking.
