Commercial Description:
It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life – the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in a solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we wouldn’t sustain. Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspires them. Since we weren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.

Bottle: One of the samples at the RateBeerians San Salvador tasting session. More on the IPA side but still a good brew.

Thanks to pollo and drank it at his house. Pours a very light golden with white head. Medium bodied, well balanced of spices and a great hoppy finish.

750 ml. brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged. No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy tangerine color, with a thin tan head. Aromas are of Noble hops, earthy & sweet. Sweet malts, along with citrus round out the aromas. Flavors include citrus, earthy hops, some barnyard and damp basement. Medium mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Smooth and silky on the palate. Finished somewhat dry & minerally.

Thanks to Naka for sharing. Clear gold body with thin, soapy white head. Smells hoppy and spicy with ginger, bread, clove, sweet, buttery, pepper and coriander notes. Crisp spicy toast, with bread, floral, butter, herbal and sweet notes. Hoppy as a muffuca.. Meh.

Bottle courtesy of Naka. Fruity nose. Brett, dusty barnyard, light horseblanket. Bit of sourness and light bitterness, too. Overall, a mild nose. Medium golden amber, clear without the dregs, with light off-white lacing head. Medium body with light carbonation. Starts fairly dry with decent bitterness. Good hoppy quality and grainy wheat character. Funky taste in there, too. Nice, but not overly exciting. Bitter dry hop finish with medium bitter after.
