Right Proper Brewing Co. - "Baron Corvo" biere de garde

I'm trying to get back in the habit of doing shorter posts, more often, so here's a snapshot of a beer I had the other day. This is Right Proper Brewing's "Baron Corvo", a 7.00% biere de garde, a strong pale ale traditionally brewed in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. According to All About Beer magazine, this style has its origins in medieval, rural Europe as a source of nutrients and nourishment for peasants toiling in the fields. Today's example is made in DC, of course. We still toil, just in different kinds of fields.

Lots of fizzy bubbles in the glass, and the beer projects an apple-cider aroma. Flavor is moderately strong, actually less than I expected. It has a decent Belgian ale flavor with that lactic tinge of a Flemish sour which I enjoy. That sourness isn't super prevalent, though, just a bit. Mostly it presents as a moderately-spiced Belgian ale with a touch of vinegar. Overall a tasty, but light, fall offering. Good intro to this style and very approachable. It cost $7.49 at Whole Foods for a 500mL bottle, so pretty much a good target.
