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

Pours a cloudy orange body with a big, fluffy white head. Bananas, yeast, bubblegum, and a slightly sour finish.

Lactose like quality with a very defined yeast character and some plum like fruits but not much more.

A bit sour and fruity with malty caramel underneath. Punchy finish, not very bitter at all. An interesting beer.

On tap at RFD’s in DC. Hazy gold pour. Aroma is musty straw, yeast and banana. Tastes are spicey yeast, sweet malts, caramel and bread. Dry-ish finish w/ lively carbonation. Ok.

Marsiblursi (2325) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JAN 24, 2012
(Bottle) Pours golden to light amber. The aroma holds dry bread, mild grassy/herbal hops, light band-aid phenols, spices (reminds me a bit of rye) and an unpleasant corn-like sweetness. The flavour is near medium sweet and light bitter with tones of herbs, syrup, honey, phenols, grain (wheat and rye?) and bread. The mouthfeel is too clean and syrupy with a medium carbonation. Herbs, bread and corn linger in the finish. Near medium bodied.

Nice hazy amber beer, small white head. Taste is sweet, bit of hay. Not a lot a carbonation, medium body. Like it, but as it is my first beer of this style, nothing to compare it to.

Pours straw colored with a white head. Tastes like some wheat beer with a yeasty note to it. Not my type of beer.

Again, this company is so close to being good. Their beers just lack that extra pop. It has a niice crisp hop bite, and some noticeable pear, bread and sweetness to it. It’s good, but ehh.
