Biere de Garde

I received a recommendation from my sister to brew a Biere de Garde for the fall.  I have never made one and thought it sounded like a fun beer.  Saisons get a lot of attention but this style seems to be rather under the radar. Biere de Garde is a farmhouse beer from the border areas of France and Belgium.  It uses lager yeast at room temperature to impart a mildly sweet and fruity flavor.  It should have a low bitterness and excellent smoothness with spicy hops for flavoring and aroma.  I am looking forward to sampling this one.
