Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear golden color with a large white head. The aroma is malt. The taste was slightly stale hops with a dry finish.

I don't get the poor reviews because I really liked this one. I admittedly know next to nothing about Biere de Garde style, so perhaps the novelty makes me rate it more highly.
It poured a golden color with a massive head that almost spilled over and a soapy lacing that swirls around the glass.
Sweet aroma of honey malts and apples. The taste is also sweet as reflected in the aroma. Along with the honey malts and orchard fruit, there is a lemon like quality, some peppery tones, and a tiny bit of hops for balance. Also, a slight bubblegum quality makes this one feels like a sweeter, milder and less alcoholic version of a Belgian Pale Ale. The feel is medium bodied but on the chewy side, slightly syrupy and effervescent in the mouth.
I had this one with dinner and it feels like a good one to pair with a meal; perhaps better than drinking it alone.

The pour barely creates a thin surface dusting, you can not only see but hear it sizzle off rapidly, no lacing of note. Filmy orange to yellow hued liquid with an enormous quantity of very large bubbles, they almost seem to crowd each other out, translucent with no way to see through it. The nose is bready with a slightly metallic to sweaty edge, challah, honey, orange peel, the fruit is straightforward apple, pear, apricot to white grape, at times there’s notes of room temperature butter. Full-bodied, it’s gluey in texture and all those visible bubbles do not add up to much active carbonation. Faded flowers, dough to sweeter baked breads, the honey is close to oppressive. More spiced orange peel, lemons and cola bean notes, maybe coriander or ginger. Same array of apple, pear, peach and maybe melon fruit. On the back end comes a mild pepperiness as well as that metallic touch. Otherwise, not much for balance and the treacly sweetness and density gets to be a bit much. Extremely bready finish. It’s not that such a beer does not have its place but this one wore me out.

.5 l can consumed from plastic cup in hotel. So much for the ambience... Very malty aroma, medium golden in color with medium creamy head. Flavors is malt, bread with a tiny amount of bitterness. Not bad considering the circumstances I’m sampling this in...
