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

Golden in color, minimal white head. The scent is somewhat vague, primarily hops and citrus. The taste, like the scent, is all hops and citrus. Average mouth feel, leaves the palate very dry and has a slightly bitter after taste. Somewhat drinkable. I don’t think I would seek this one out in the future. Serving type: bottle

Pours a gold color with a HUGE white head. Flavor could use a little work. Overall I was disappointed.

Pours golden with small white head. Aroma is slight flowers and yeast. Flavor is a sweet explosion of fruity flavors subsiding into a sweet malty backbone. Not overly pronounced, but interesting. Palate is a bit watery, and resembles a pilesner. Nothing outstanding here, but interesting just the same.

bottle poured into a shaker has a golden color and a fizzy one finger white head that fell quickly. aroma of pilsner malt, sweet floral yeast, caramel, and biscuit. mouth feel is thin with lighter carbonation. flavor has plenty of pilsner malt, corn sweetness, yeasty spice, and a very subtle touch of hops. this is alright for a summer brew.

Cloudy gold pour with a fizzy head. Bready malt and yeast aroma. Very light malty flavor with hints of yeast and spice. A bit watery on the palate. No big deal.

Pours a slightly cloudy darkish gold with a small head. Light aroma of biscuit malt. Slightly sweet flavor, solid and drinkable.
