Name – Garde Dog
Country – United States
Type – Bière de Garde

Appearance – Poured a cloudy almost orange color.  Things did settle and the beer became clearer.  The over finger wide white head was gone very quickly.

Smell – Very hard to pick anything up from this.  You get some grassy notes and a little yeast but not much going on.

Taste – Very light in body and had a yeasty wheat taste to it.  There was a bit of a sweetness to it and an ever so small bit of funk but really kind of fell flat.

I’ve only had one Bière de Garde previously and that made me think I was going to be getting a funky sour brew here.  But that wasn’t what I got.  This was very close in taste to just a basic wheat styled beer.  It was refreshing I will give it that.  I had one while doing my brew last weekend.  But it just didn’t live up to what I thought it would be.

Overall Grade – C
