Hey All,
I recently entered a Bière de Garde that I have brewed a few times in a local comp under 24C. The beer scored a 31. I'm mainly looking to double check my understanding of the style and variance within it.
Most of the low score was due to my yeast choice: Yeast Bay Wallonian Farmhouse. I fermented cool and ended up with a subtle finish of the classic Saison spicy-tart.
For any BJCP folks - what is your experience with BdGs? I thought some of saison yeast characteristics were acceptable and part of the style?
