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.

Pours a hazy amber with a frothy beige head. Aroma is medium sweet with a good deal of yeast, light spice and orange. Flavor is yeast, orange peel, apple, grassy malt and light hay. Fairly dry and hoppy finish. Light to medium bodied.

Bottled. The aroma is very fruity-yeasty with apples, pineapple, melon, aprikots. hazy, yellow coloured with a lasting, off-white head. The taste is a bit sweet, fruity and yeasty. Well bodied beer. Very enjoyable.

Pours a hazy golden brown with a fluffy persistent head. Fruity aroma, apples, lemon, and some breadiness with a touch of spice. Starts off lightly sweet malt and lightly tart citrus. Fades quickly into a long finish of bitter hops and musty yeast. Light body, lively carbonation. Did not enjoy it overall as I felt the bitterness did not mesh well with the other flavors and tended to dominate them. Not what I was expecting from a Belgian style ale.

Bottle purchased at Archers in Chicago. Pours amber with a fruity aroma. Very good. Tastes a little like a sour ale.
