from Untappd and the micro's website--
Medium to lean bodied Amber Ale. Inspired by French farmhouse ale traditions, the Biere De Garde gets its name from storing (Garde-ing) the beer. This results in a well rounded Amber ale, like a Saison but with more malt character.

Also on tap at The Belgian Beer Cafe; being my night to try local Belgians. Both this and Bonehead's Wit were served a bit cold. (But that's how they like their beer here in Australia; so I should get used to it.)
King River's rendition is close to traditional: amber, malty, minor spicing and modest enough that the food can play. The only improvement I can suggest here is the yeast could be more lively... but that is hard to keep in this climate. So overall and enjoyable brew.
As for my micro-review of King River, they are very thoughtful brewers for such a young age (I'm guessing four years old.) First, they are thoughtful enough to keep a dying style... particularly one I like. Second, their restaurant has a thoughtful menu and it is clear that they brew and for their kitchen and do pairing with it. Third, they are in a thoughtful setting. I almost want to come visit them, but they are a three hour car trip. Can't you be thoughtful and open a gastropub in Melbourne?
