This Bière de Garde represents a relatively rare “blonde” variant of the style—we’re accustomed to our BdG’s favoring amber coloration, so we were pleased when we came across this unusual version, as blonde BdG’s are pretty tough to come by. The flavor profile offers a generous peppery spice, fruit and earthiness, along with notes of noble hops. Fruit remains pear-focused, like the aroma, but an unexpected green grape character sneaks in and shakes things up. Look for a bit of a wheaty twang to introduce a touch of tartness amidst the soft yet deep maltiness, adding another layer of complexity to the profile, along with delicate Franco-Belgian yeasty phenolics. In summary: remarkably approachable, yet anything but pedestrian. Subtle and sophisticated. A deliciously well-crafted bière de garde here; a beer that the French should be extremely proud of. Try with a Waldorf salad or lobster tail. From: Gussignies, France
