Bière de Garde 8 º

Spore

Spore Lermot is a sophisticated Bière de Garde featuring a blend of Rye saison aged eighteen months in Calvados barrels with a vibrant young tart saison. This composition presents a rich profile of rustic toasted bread and spicy Rye, elevated by nuanced aromatics of baked apple and charred oak from the spirit barrels. The presence of the young surette component introduces a bright, refreshing acidity that cuts through the malty depth of the base. Expect a complex interplay of orchard fruits, peppery spice, and a dry, wood-influenced finish that honors its farmhouse roots with refined barrel character.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper (12–16 SRM) with a fine-beaded, off-white head showing moderate lacing. Generally clear with a very slight haze likely from the rye protein and extended barrel maturation.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a dominant toasty, bready malt backbone and distinct peppery rye notes. Complex layers of Calvados-derived red apple, pear, and subtle vanilla mingle with a light, rustic tartness and low spicy, herbal hops.

Taste. Initial impression of malty richness with toasted grain and biscuity flavors, quickly followed by a sharp, peppery rye spice. The Calvados barrel influence provides flavors of dried orchard fruit and aged wood. Bitterness is medium-low, allowing a gentle acidity from the young saison to provide balance. The finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering apple-skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable silky, creamy character from the rye. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being hot or fusel.
