de Garde Brewing

Dos F.A.I.L. presents a sophisticated evolution of the Mexican-Style Amber Lager, transformed by de Garde’s signature native yeast and bacteria. This wild ale pours a luminous copper-amber, offering a complex aromatic bouquet of rustic barnyard funk, dried apricot, and a whisper of toasted sourdough. The palate is defined by its remarkable dryness and bright, lemon-like acidity that cuts through the delicate malt base of crusty bread and toasted grain. Maturation in oak barrels imparts a subtle structure and earthy depth, finishing exceptionally crisp with a lingering touch of wild stone fruit and floral hop character, making this Brett Beer a masterful study in fermentation-driven complexity.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper (12–14 SRM) with a slight, natural haze. Topped by a dense, off-white head with moderate retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced native yeast character featuring wet hay, farmyard funk, and lemon zest. Low toasty malt notes of bread crust are complemented by light oak vanillin and subtle floral hop notes.

Taste. Initial impression is tart and bone-dry. Flavor follows the nose with sharp citrus and apricot esters over a lean, toasted grain malt profile. Hop bitterness is mild and clean, allowing the earthy, funk-forward native yeast character and light oak tannins to lead into a crisp, refreshing finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. Light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Refreshing and dry with a slight puckering quality and minimal astringency from the oak.
