I have only had one beer from Ponysaurus Brewing Co. That was a long while ago. This is Ponysaurus’ Bière De Garde, which means beer to guard. This beer is 6.3%. This is from Durham, North Carolina. This strong pale comes from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. This beer has three types of barley, wheat, and rye. This beer pours a golden color with a three-and-a-quarter-finger white head. The aroma is pear fruit, sweet, light, and some faint vanilla. The flavor of pear fruit, sweetness, light boozy notes, light vanilla, and light spices. There is a lightness to the mouthfeel. Then this beer finishes with a spiced sweet pear. Then you come to an aftertaste of faint fruity pear with a lightly spiced note. This Bière De Garde is okay, but not great. I give this beer a C. I didn’t dislike this beer. I just found it to be not that exciting for this type of beer. I have had a few Belgian examples of this and found them to be much better. It seems like, Ponysaurus is trying to make a light version of a Bière De Garde. That kind of hinders it from being a good beer. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
