COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This French-style country ale is deep amber in color. With a toasty, sweet caramel start, it finishes with just enough hops to clean off the palate. Bon Appetit!

On tap. Nice rich amber color with 1 finger head. Nice lacing. Nose is sweet malt. Mouthfeel is nice and bubbly. Light to medium body with pleasant maltiness and notes of hops give the flavor a nice balance. Aftertaste lingers with more hop flavor but is not overpowering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On draft, deep amber color with a small quick dissipating off-white head. Not much nose off of it, smell was overpowered by beer being boiled 15 feet away. Strong caramel and malty front, finishes with slight roast, and barest finish of hip presence. Medium bodied. Overall sweet flavor profile.

Love it. New to the area, tried a couple at a tasting. Liked it because of the full body without being overbearing. Good depth of flavor, for me very intriguing, bready then a little hoppy sweet on the finish. Lite on the nose but other than that this is a big win for me.

Pours copper and orange with small head that left before I could taste it. Sweet malts in the nose, small citrus hops. Some more citrus in the flavors, though it is small, a bit of a butter as well. A nice creamy palate, very nice

This "biere de garde" category has not been favorable for me. Sort of like the French version of our crappy massed-produced lagers, but slightly better in many respects. Inoffensive, but not worth a premium price.

Copper. Cloudy. White head. Biscuity and bready a little heavy. Well balanced though. Earthy and oaky.

Pretty solid version of a French Country ale. Nice sweet caramel and toast aroma that matches the taste. Some cereal and hops as well. Great flavor. Nice finger white head that dissipates leaving some lacing. I love Two Brothers. Great stuff from them.

Not as dry and funky as I would have liked... Sweet and caramelly, with a thick mouthfeel and more toffee than necessary. Tried at DMK burger in Chicago with Nick in 2012.

Tap. Brown pour with little head. Caramel and roasty scents. Tastes of nuts, roasted malts, and a caramel finish. A very slight hop bitterness at the end. Very good brown. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
