Bought two 12 ounce cans from Beer Drop. (Also bought the same in what probably is a Brett rendition of Cache.) That is part of what makes Diebolt interesting: they probably waste lots of money keeping this dying style alive, and keep trying to reinvent it. The biere de garde is an interesting style: food-friendly from France, albeit nestled against Belgian. While Diebolt makes its money on IPAs and stouts, it spends its money on farmhouse ales. And that is all good with me.

As for Colorado Cache, I like it; but it could have slightly fewer hops in its after-taste... if it is serious about being a go-to at the table. (Diebolt's Anton French Ale is a contender as a table go-to.) Other than the excess spicing, Colorado Cache is more than good alliteration, it also is a good ale.

6/25/21 Had the second can and confirm the above rating and edited the review. Fewer hops help Cache at the table. I'm keeping count over at UnTappd.
