COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and uninhibited, Hardywood Singel is a feat in balance. Sunshine golden with a fluffy head and a veil of Belgian ale yeast, Singel’s tropical fruit esters complement its spicy hop aromatics. Delicate in body, Singel’s mellow, dry finish culminates a truly ethereal experience. Hardywood Singel’s stylistic inspiration originates with the Trappist brewers of western Europe, who are often celebrated for their gloriously complex dubbels and tripels, and whose devotion to crafting heavenly libations is second to none. Unknown to many, some of the Trappist brewers also brew a milder ale for daily consumption within the walls of the monastery. Hardywood Singel is our interpretation of this style.

obguthr (2578) - Poquoson, USA - FEB 8, 2012
Funk, rice, and honey nose, some fusel alcohol. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Much drier flavor of dandelion, with a funky undercurrent. Brief appearance of honey. Mouthfeel is thin. Nice funk, with some subtle nuances. It’s a bit milquetoast when chilled, but becomes more enjoyable closer to ambient temperature.

Cloudy straw color with a light lacy head. Easy to drink. Slightly yeasty in smell and taste, but not to overwhelming. Good beer to have around.

Westmeister (590) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAR 20, 2012
Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with thin white head. Smell is of heavy banana, clove and yeasty bread notes. The taste is more bread, light fruitiness, a light hop finish. This was a very easy dinking and nice beer. Looking forward to trying more from this brewery.

I’ve never been a big fan of belgians, but this turned me around. Pours light but cloudy (it’s unfiltered) and is crisp on the tongue. Searching for the perfect warm weather beer? This is it. All of the flavor of a belgian without the high ABV. This beer will define my summer.

This is only an average beer. However I am picky with this style of beer. The flavor is there but I am not a fan ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

HopTsing (159) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - MAR 4, 2012
From the bottle poured a slightly cloudy, golden brew with a generous white head. The aroma was well balancedwith slight floral hints. The taste was light, well balanced with a dry finish and slight, lingering hop after taste.

riversideAK (4567) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - JAN 8, 2012
Nice spicy fruity nose. Yeasty clove, pepper, bread, dough, and nice fruity and peppery hops. Pours golden, some haze, nice lasting head and lace. The flavor starts fruity with nice yeast esters, flavors of dough, pepper, troipcal fruits, and citrus show up here and there. Clove, dust. Well carbonated, somewhat bitey finish with hops and carbonation. Really a nice Belgian Ale.
