Pours a mostly clear. Dark golden color with a 1 finger head . Smell is fruity with some herbs and spice. Taste has fruit,rye,mint,clove and citrus hops ,mixed with yeast and grains . Mouth feel is sweet with herbal citrus and some funk. Thought this was very good.

Look: white, two finger-width head over amber hued-body. Rising bubbles and suspended sediments permeate.
Smell: fresh, citrus aroma
Taste: grainy, citrus taste- very drinkable, but not necessarily memorable
Mouthfeel: light and airy; sits well on the palate
Overall: a very drinkable, light ale

This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a hazy bronzed to heavy burnt orange color with a large rocky foamy white head that dissipated within less than about two minutes. The smell had some Belgian spices, slight yeastiness, some lemon/citrusy notes, slight dry savory grassiness, all combining really nice. The taste took all of those flavors and combined in a sticky sweet fashion. The aftertaste was semi-sweet through slight grassy and citrusy goodness. It’s got a dry finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light, feels good, slightly sticky. Overall, as a Belgian Pale ale, it works, I’d have again.

From a 12 oz bottle in a snifter via a friend from work---Thanks Randy!
This rather nice Biere De Garde pours a hazy amber with a nice head of
off white foam that settles to a thick ring and rocky pooling layer with
very nice lacing. Nose of strong grain bill with spicy rye and definite strong
barley notes mingling with earthy yeast and Belgian candy sugars. Flavors
surpass the nose with strong rye and barley that is mellowed out by wheat and
oat notes that are awash in earthy yeasty goodness as well as candy sugars with
a touch of apricot and light herbal hops. Nice mouth feel; medium high carbonation,
medium body, and a sweet herbal finish laced with grain and yeast notes that finishes
lightly dry.
Overall an excellent ale.
