Rating: 3.25/5
Notes: This one tastes too much like a fruit after thought. It has a distinct medicine type taste which really doesn’t sit well. Fruity and bright with some sweetness and not much hoppiness.

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: I’ll be honest that the first De Garde beer I had was too weird and out there for me but I’ve seen a million posts about De Garde so I had to give them another shot. This one had lots of enjoyable flavors. Tart for sure but very tasty. The wild yeast is certainly interesting.
Bottle art: Consistent and clean but nothing special. I like their logo.
