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 golden with a good sized head. Aroma of funk, some bread, and hops. Seemed to be quite a bit more bitter than I was expecting.

Bottle from Jessup Beverage. A lot of grass and pepper but overall a very drinkable beer despite a somewhat farm-like musky character. This would be nice on tap. Not the best from the brewery though. After Judgement Day I thought hmmmmm.

Huge fluffy white head atop an orange semi cloudy beer. Slight peppery aroma with some lemon. Light on taste but refreshing in a clear lemon-lime soda kind of way. Light spice and a bit of bitter hops. A really great summer time beer but not that notable.

Shared by DYCSoccer17. Light honey-like, appley aroma, lightly fruity overall. Nice warm, biscuity malts, fairly clean sharp, dry body, substantial yet pleasingly crafted bitterness.

Odd label notes - what priory are they going on about? Champagne bottle with a quaint, rustic drawing on the label. Big, foamy head on a cloudy tan pour. Pleasantly sweet and spicy in the nose. This is a fairly light and dry Belgian ale that is lacking esters. This would be a good summer brew - it is refreshing and lightly bittered, with flavors of wheat, pith, and a little lime. Not bad, but did they need a champagne cork for this? I think not.

Tasting @ Binnys. Slightly hazy amber, very nice rocky white foam, less than spectacular retention, very nice lacing. Aroma is a little bit of pear, with some musty yeast and hop notes. Flavor is bone dry, not in good way, over the top bitterness and not very much in the malt category at all. The taste is sweet, tart and dry. I get sweet malts with hints of wheat as well as tart tones of lemon and a hint of astringency. Not what I expected.

Sampled at the brewery durring the anniversary. Very refreshing light tasting beer. I could session this one. Very flavorful, slightly yeasty, and a little tiny bit sour. Pretty good. Was a nice change from the other samples.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with an orange tint and with minimal head. The aroma was quite yeasty and some fruit notes, grapefruit perhaps some orange. Beer begins a acid with a grapefruit flavor and begins to become more bitter and grainy.
