Ovni apparently is French for "UFO." Biere de Garde is a French style of beer. And former Flat Earth owner/brewer/beer namer had a thing for science fiction. There was some gobbledygook on the label about a UFO that hit the Eiffel Tower, and so on, and so forth, and blah, blah, blah...Here are notes from when I tapped it in August of 2008:
Clear, garnet-hued, smallish head, dunnish, plenty carbonated...
Malt dominates the nose, flushes out rosy, fresh, fruity associations, some cherry, berry, grape...with grain below. Lovely stuff.
Fills the mouth happily and spreads deliciousness. Well-rounded, malt infused, little hops, and just plain juicy. Tons of fruity flavor, not from hops, but malt and yeast.
Most wine-like. Medium-bodied, with a terse grainy texture, leading into the finish, with remains malty, and ultimately dry. Urges further drinking.
Very tasty ale. So similar, but superior to amber/red ales. Just the right indgedients went at work here. This is delicious. Loving it.
