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

Bottled: Nothing to special about this beer. Malty smell with a clean, dry, crisp taste. Decent beer though.

[Bottle] Pours clear orange with a tiny white head. Aroma is quite yeasty with a good deal of malt and a slight spiciness. Taste is very malty with a little of the spiciness that was detected in the aroma--overall very simple. Average mouthfeel with a good, malty, somewhat dry finish. A simple beer, but it was drinkable and not offensive in any way.

Pours a perfectly clear golden colour with a slightly orange hue. No head, little lacing- initial corn aroma with green apples and somewhat pilsner like. Moderately carbonated, finishes long, one again- corn slightly grass with a tiny subtle hop finish.

12oz, its a style I like so I thought why not try it. Bought somewhere in Freeport. Pours gold with a bright white ring. Nose is yeasty and light. Taste is light and drinkable but pretty much just ok.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with small white head. Aroma is grainy and lightly spicy. Flavors are light and malty and grainy, with some spice and floral qualities but not a whole lot to describe here. Mouthfeel is kind of nice and fizzy. Not bad, not sure what I expected, but I enjoyed it when I had it.

Pours a clear dark orange color with zero head. Aroma is slightly earthy, a little bit of yeast, and some leather but all very faint. Flavor is rather uninspiring and flat. Some citrus gives way to a grassy sort of finish. Very light bodied and pretty easy to drink just not all that exciting.
