This Bière de Garde presents a unique take on the traditional French farmhouse ale, utilizing a grist of Buckwheat, Vienna, and Pilsner Malt to create a sophisticated sensory profile. The Buckwheat lends an earthy, nutty roundness that complements the toasty sweetness of the Vienna malt. On the palate, expect a harmonious balance of bready richness and a distinct phenolic character, delivering notes of cracked white pepper and spice. The fermentation is clean yet expressive, leading to a remarkably dry finish. Despite its strength, the alcohol is well-integrated, supporting a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that highlights the rustic elegance of Transmitter's brewing approach and malt-forward focus.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber (8–12 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a dense, persistent off-white head that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Dominant toasty, bready malt richness from Vienna and Pilsner malts, with a unique nutty, earthy undertone from buckwheat. Low herbal hop aroma. Noticeable spicy, peppery phenols with subtle apple or pear esters. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Rich, toasty malt entry with a hint of biscuit. The buckwheat provides a round, slightly savory mid-palate. Low hop bitterness maintains a malt-forward balance. Phenolic spice—specifically white pepper—is prominent. Finishes medium-dry to dry, leaving a lingering toasty aftertaste without being cloying or heavy.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, creamy, and slightly silky texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp lift. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, appropriate for the strength.
