Our Biere de Garde was inspired by the farmhouse beers brewed in Northern France and our friend Steve Jones, Proprietor and Cheesemonger at Cheese Bar in Portland, Oregon. Traditionally, Biere de Garde was brewed while the climate was cooler, then garded (lagered) during the cool months. This beer offers a soft and clean, malt forward flavor with a reserved hop profile.

750mL into a tulip. Pours a clear amber w/ a big fluffy head that settles to a thin collar.

Aroma is bready and fruity. Pear and toasty caramel malt.

Taste follows nose. Sweet, malt-forward, fruity. Bready, toasty. Somewhat reminiscent of a Märzen.

Mouthfeel is semi-dry, slightly prickly carbonation. Balanced.

Overall a really nice, tasty beer.

On tap: Thick, syrupy, cherries, not super sweet, medicinal. The taste that's there is alright but its too concentrated.

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with some good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light bready notes is OK. Taste is also dominated by bready notes with some dry caramel malt notes and a grainy finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. OK for style but falls a bit short on complexity and I don’t think I would been seeking this on a regular basis.
