This Friday will be a very special tapping of 'Jenlain Ambrée', an authentic Bière de Garde from the French Brewery Duyck. This is a rich and malty ale with a wonderful toasty character, and caramel sweetness.
From the BJCP historical description, "The name literally means 'beer which has been kept or lagered.' A traditional artisanal farmhouse ale from Northern France brewed in early spring and kept in cold cellars for consumption in warmer weather. It is now brewed year-round. Related to the Belgian Saison style, the main difference is that the Bière de Garde is rounder, richer, sweeter, malt-focused, often has a “cellar” character, and lacks the spicing and tartness of a Saison."
