Year of New Beer: Debutante, Stillwater Artisanal Ales (MD)

Written By: Dion on 11/22/2014

Honeysuckle, sweet flowers, and quite a bit of yeast on the nose. On the tongue the sweetness continues in the form of pear and apple, while a light floral hop is noted, along with a bit of shortbread. I've not had a great number of beers in this style, but this one seemed to lack a certain "zip" that I have come to expect (perhaps mistakenly) from a Biere de Garde. Not a bad beer, just not great.
