ATF Ambre Biére de Garde

$48.90

Biére de Garde (beer for keeping) is a traditional malt oriented farmhouse ale from Northern France that was typically brewed in early winter then cellared (lagered) until spring and summer when it was then consumed.

The ATF Ambre Biére de Garde is an amber coloured version of the style. A strong malt oriented beer with layers of caramel, dark fruit, and nutty flavours with ripe fruit (especially plum if using Mangrove Jack's Belgian Ale) esters and balanced phenolics.

The beer will benefit from a period of lagering.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Belgian Ale or you could also try Fermentis SafAle BE-256.

If crash cooling it is possible to cause the yeast thermal shock, which may be an issue when bottle conditioning, particularly a higher alcohol beer.

Excellent Beer

Brewed as per instructions, which are much more detailed than other suppliers. Largered for 2 weeks at end of ferment. Came out stunning, a true Belgian ale. Really recommend it.
