Commercial Description:
Brewed in honor of the Tour De France, "Maillot Jaune" or "Yellow Jersey" is a French style Bier De Garde. Very crisp and hoppy, this golden yellow ale is just the ticket for cheering on the amazing athletes who compete in this grueling two week race and the chance to wear the Maillot Jaune.

Objectively speaking: A remarkable farmhouse ale that I loved more and more with every sip.
I like: Hazy hay-coloured. Superb looks. Lasting healthy white head. Tart, refreshing, wheaty palate. Extremely fresh tasting. Light lemony hints washed out by firm biscuity malts and extremely fresh grassiness. Great cleansing carbonation. light-medium body. Incredibly drinkable and as fresh as it gets.
I dislike: The Livery is probably the single brewpub where I’ve disagreed the most with my fellow ratebeerians’ scores.

7-22-06 MBG. Hazy dirty yellow, nice white rocky head. Very spicy/herbal hop presence up front. Plenty of funky farmhouse yeast going on. Musty basement/horseblanket. Flavor has some dusty cracker and grassy hops and not much else. Very easy drink altogether.

Growler from The Livery. Poured a hazy medium straw yellow with a small white head. Nose had spice, musty yeast, and crispy - almost cider-like - fruit. Taste was grassy and peppery with some pear character. A little alcohol in the finish. Very refreshing mouthfeel and good carbonation. Great patio beer!

Draught. Hazy orange body with a white head. The aroma is cookie-ish sweet with some cloves, cereal, and peppery spice. The flavour has cookies, piney hops, and some fruity yeast. Nice.

On tap at brewery: Cloudy golden hue with excellent lacing. The aroma has notes of apricot, star fruit, biscuity malts, yeasty and wheaty esters. The flavor profile starts fruity and has noticeable wheat character. Supported on the tongue by a bit of honeycomb, hop spice, and finished with some grassy bitters. The feel is smooth and quite drinkable. Another solid brew from Steve. (A cask aged dry hopped version due out in August).
