This is a northern French style of farmhouse ale traditionally made in the winter months and then laid-down in a cellar (thus the “Biere De Garde” appellation) for drinking throughout the year. Ours is a traditional amber beauty presented unfiltered with the yeast still in it to add to the slightly fruity/spicy aroma and creaminess of palate. Brewed with a blend of North American and European malt and hops, Ambre de la Chaudiere is a true reflection of our Canadian immigrant culture. Named after the famous Chaudiere Falls beside our brewery, this beer pays homage to a time gone by when honest craftsmanship and simplicity were truly valued. . Sante! Only available in Ottawa.

On tap at Imbibe - pours a nice cloudy honey gold in the galss with a one finger cap. Mild coebonation, Aeoma is musty swwet mats over some earthy hopping and Belgian yeast funk. Silky smmoth mouth feel, rich malty sweet flavour with enough hop balane to keep it from being a cloying drink.... mild complexity to thi mid palate as the yeast esters and phenols mingle with the malts and hop alphas....rich, long, wet finish with a light bittering at the end. A tad sweeter than the Bier de Guard I like but a real sessioner.

This is an ugly looking beer. Looks like an unfiltered dark apple cider. It pours a very hazed golden-brown with no head. The aroma is yeast, apples (maybe the cider comment isn't off the mark) and some grains. I don't get any of the funk associated with Biere de Gardes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour has the funk I was missing in the aroma, with yeasty notes, and hints of apple. -

On tap at the Ottawa brewpub: Had a good size head. Barely any carbonation. Deep orange hues. No lacing. For flavour, tasting bananas, but more strongly I feel, mangos! Feels thick going down. Reminds me of a freshly poured glass of fruity type juice (like mangos. hmm). But with 7% abv. :) Only available at the Ottawa location!

Got this one at the Ottawa brewpub in a 750ml brown bottle format. Pours a rich hazy golden-amber colour with a slight off-white creamy head that stays a long time and creates thick lacing all around. Mild spicy nose with Belgian yeast aromas that smooth out things with hints of bananas. Silky medium-thick mouthfeel that is kind of creamy. The taste is well-blended and mildly light with spices, pears, banana and nice cereal malts in the finish. Again, lots of Belgian yeast, so great beer, but seems more like a Belgian ale than a Bière de Garde from France.
