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.

Cloudy golden color with a foamy off white head. Sweet grain nose that reminded me of raw home brew. Flavors of sweet tea, bread, yeast, sweet lemons and some spice. Clean, refreshing beer.

This bottle came straight from the brewery so it was pretty fresh. Nice golden color, hazy with a somewhat funky aroma. The taste was clean, a little funk, some tart fruity flavors also.The mouth-feel was smooth. I was glad my cousin popped this bottle because it wasn’t on tap at the brewery.

This hopped-up belgian starts with a pretty dark golden pour with substantial white head. Nose is Belgian yeast esters (fruity and spicy) with some hop herbal qualities. Nice spritzy palate, refreshing and sparkling, with notes of yeasty fruitiness, herbal hop bitterness, and sweet roasted caramel and toffee maltiness. Good pairing with many different foods.

750ml bottle. Being that this is not my favorite style of beer, you may want to take this rating with a grain of salt. Straw yellow pour with white head. Sweet, malty flavor with touches of light fruits. Not enough flavor for my liking and just really not all that impressive of a beer.

From a bottle poured a hazy straw color with a lot of head. Nice spicy flavor with a quick finish.

On tap at the brewery 07-10-09. Don’t have much for notes on this one besides my scores and that very nice amber pour with a great balanced bitterness.
