[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/25/2006 8:08:01 PM)
"My first experience with the style of biere de garde. Not sure what to expect, but now that I've had it I know that it's pretty damn good. Aroma was yeasty, like fresh bread. I could also pick-up slight hints of pears. The appearance was incredible with a lacing that was eye popping. Light yellow/orangish color with a slight haze. Mouthfeel was very nice, slightly harsh with the carbonation but nothing that detracted this beer in the least. Flavor was honeyish sweet, very yeasty, a nice bite and malty. Easy going down, I was suprised I'd finished the 750ml bottle so quickly!"

"Again, my first beer of this style, so I don't know how to really rate it. Beer poured a light color, cloudy with HUGE head. The taste was very akin to a saison (in fact, I can't tell the difference). I thought it was somewhat lacking in taste until it warmed, when the nice sweety taste came out, somewhat countering the "dirty barn" saison taste. I enjoyed the second half of the glass far more the the first."

"Pours a nice yellow color with a tiny light head. Smelled sweet and floraly, hint of yeast. Flavor was sweet could taste the spice as an aftertaste. Good beer."

"Poured a yellow color with a relatively small head that sustained itself through the drink. The aroma was somewhat malty and sweet with a funkiness to it (not sure barn or hay was there). The flavor was pretty darned sweet, followed by a bit of funkiness. Somewhat toffee and caramel like, which I don't remember from the La Bav I had from this style. Mouthfeel was fairly thick and sweet."
