Commercial Description:
A French Farmhouse style lager called Biere de Garde. Biere de Garde means, "beer to keep", implying that it was laid down as a provision to be drawn upon during the summer months on the farm. A slightly sweet malt accent that is well balanced with a delicate spiciness. You won’t be able to drink just one.

Decent lager, very light, very sweet. I think sweet should be saved for soda pop, not lagers.

Tap: amber color with minimal head, fades to film. Aroma a little subdued, but flowery, musty and some faint fruit hop character. Initial flavor is all sweet malt, turns skunky/funky and finishes with some residuel sugar. Decent overall.

Fruity aromas (apricot, fig, tangerine, apples) are floral, leafy and herbal. Copper coloured, gentle, but diminishing white head. Rather juicy palate, carbonation is a bit low, light-medium bodied. Interesting flavor development, limited hops aromas presence, but fairly bitter. Highly fruity, mostly simple, but interesting.

MiBG Gest 2005:

Pours a cloudy deep amber hue with a fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and herbal characteristics, orange peel, apricot, lemongrass, and a flowery vapor. The taste starts a bit fruity and quite flowery. Addtional notes of vanilla bean, earthy yeast, a white pepper. Some lingering bitterness. The feel is a bit underwhelming. Nice but not quite what I would want from a BdG. I like what I see so far from the brewery, I hope they continue to push the standard micro envelope.
