Style: Bière de Garde
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 6.20%
Availability: Rotating
Notes / Commercial Description:
This lager is brewed in the French farmhouse style. We add our own twist by adding 30% Rye Malt, locally grown Triticale from MA and amber Belgian candy sugar. We leave this beer slightly hazy to accentuate the mild fruity yeasty character. Copper in color, a spicy Rye flavor emerges in a dry yet malty finish after lagering for five weeks near freezing.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
S: Rich, grainy maltiness, some black pepper, earthiness, slight papery notes, perhaps a touch musty.
L: Amber with a light tan head with decent retention. Ok lacing.
T: Slight fruity malt up front, estery. Medium low earthy bitterness, with a crackery rich maltiness. Finishes slightly spicy with white pepper notes. Rye graininess comes through more as it warms.
M: Medium bodied, medium carbonation.
Great beer with nice complexity. Love what this brewery is doing.
