Wee wee (insert dirty French laugh here). Biere de Garde or "beer for keeping" is a traditional French farmhouse ale brewed in March for drinking during the spring and summer months. Like another great French tradition, surrender your taste buds to Garde Dog's toasted aroma and spicy, malty sweetness. Wee wee. Haw haw haw.

"Golden color with a white head. The aroma contains corn, honey, and some spices. The flavor is rather sweet with candi sugar, citrus, and honey. The finish is slightly sweet. Overall this is pretty boring but not offensive

"Golden colored, thin head and a grassy, malty aroma. Sweet malty flavor, spices, with some hop bitterness towards the finish. A touch dry. Full enough mouthfeel and refreshing. Not bad. "

"This one poured a clear golden color with a slightly weak head. It had a grainy aroma and a flavor consisted of bread, yeast, and a subtle malt profile. Havent had a Biere de Garde until today and now Im hooked."

"This biere de Garde pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is sweet, touch of malt, honey and some spices. A light to medium bodied B de G. The malts are fruity and bready. The hops are floral and earthy. There is a nice balance between the fruitiness and the earthiness. It just seems to be a little mild tasting. Needs some additional or more spices. Drinkable. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter"

[5] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/24/2008 1:52:43 AM)
"12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden with a medium white head that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is wheat, a little fruit, and some vegetal malts with some metallic floral hops.
The flavor is rather macro-ish. It's sweet corny malts with a slight bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, a cool name and label, but not a very good beer. It tastes like an above average macro."
