About this beer

The Quatre à l'Orange is a spontaneously fermented wild ale aged in gin barrels, produced by de Garde Brewing of Tillamook, Oregon. Clocking in at 5.8% ABV and packaged in a 16oz bottle (1 pint, 9.4 fl. oz.), this beer is blended from four years of vintages and features sweet & bitter orange zest and juice. The label depicts a stylized, gold-colored distilling apparatus against a dark background, referencing the gin barrels used in the aging process. de Garde Brewing focuses on traditionally wild craft offerings using regionally sourced ingredients, carrying on methods of barrel aging and local experimentation.

The brewing process utilizes spontaneous fermentation enabling a complex and natural character. The addition of orange zest and juice brightens the fermentation, imbuing notes of citrus complexity alongside the expected tartness and funk associated with this style. It is bottled in small batches—this example, batch 6/21—reflecting the brewery’s dedication to quality and demonstrable vintage variation.
