I have never had the style
Bière De Garde before till now. I found one from Fullsteam Brewing from Durham
North Carolina. King Basil Bière De Garde, 8.0% ABV is brewed with five types
of Basil. King Basil pours a copper/deep gold color with a two-finger white
head that stays around long enough for a good look before fading into some
halfway decent lacing. Not too much light comes through and with that said not
so much of the carbonation could be seen. The aroma is perfume like with nice
basil notes and a very faint yeast scent. King Basil has a nice light yeasted
flavor followed quickly by a big rush of basil that hits the taste buds nicely.
This taste is somewhat similar to Summer Basil but this one has a broader basil
flavor. The mouthfeel is light to medium with a nice faint basil finish that
leads into a nice floral after taste with little yeast notes. This is a great
beer and a refreshing one as well. I say this is an A. I like how more than
one type of basil is used in this to really broaden the basil flavor. That
really makes this beer good and keeps it from being a stronger version of
Summer Basil. I really recommend that you try Fullsteam Brewery King Basil Bière
De Garde. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
