Bridge Road Biere De Garde

[mosto]

I fully admit I'm a complete novice when it comes to Belgian beer styles. I've tasted a couple, but never brewed any. I recently signed up to the Bridge Road Beer Posse, and get sent a case every three months. My first case came this week, and included three stubbies of their Chavalier Biere De Garde. I've never tried a Biere De Garde before, but this beer is incredible. There's a wonderful 'silkiness' to it and an amazing combination of flavours.

I've emailed them to congratulate them on this beer and ask for some pointers re ingredients etc so I can have a crack at this myself.

Anyone else tried this beer, or can recommend another Biere De Garde for me to try and get my hands on?

I had it when I visited their brewery/pizzeria in Beechworth, they served it off the hand pump. Was my favourite beer on the tasting tray.
