Bière de Garde
French strong, pale ale
Bières de garde are beers brewed in the north of France. They are rather light in colors, or amber. Usually, they have more than six percent alcohol. They also have a very malty taste. To many people outside France, the name may be misleading, as it means Beers for safekeeping.
