Poured into a pint glass the beer is a little hazy and golden with lots of bubbles rising to the surface to form a very lite and loose head. The head never grows to be more than 1/2 inch and dies off quickly despite a constant rise of fizzy bubbles.

The aroma is musty and a little spicy with a good bit of esters and only pinch of malt.

The beer is fairly light on the tongue and the immediate flavor is spicy with a hint of toast and a nice dry finish. No distinct hops stand out and as the beer warms the flavor gets stronger but doesn't change.

Overall this is a pretty good Biere de Garde and will probably find its way into my refrigeratorfairly often.
