Commercial Description:
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish. Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

Slightly hazy golden color,large white head that has a good hang time then fades slowly to leave a decent lace behind.The aroma was malty sweet with some mild hints of spice and fruit in the background.The flavor was malty and fruity with a decent spicy side some hints at bannana and a bit of a band-aid taste in there as well.Over all not a bad brew but i think i prefer the Yokel over this brew.

Bottle poured a hazy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of pear, apple, spice and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of fruittiness, spice and light carmel with a smooth fruity finish.

Bottle, courtesy of a friend from Wisconsin. Hints of banana and clove. Mild Belgian ale, good drinkable beer that fit well with the grilled hamburgers and vegetables!

Pours a bright, almost clear golden yellow with a puffy white head that dissipates slowly leaving a little bit of lacing. Smell is pretty standard for a belgian pale with belgian yeast and bananas and only a hint of spices. The taste follows the aroma with a subdued yeast flavor and a bit more spices. The mouthfeel is fairly light but very smooth with strong carbonation. This isn’t the biggest or most unique example of the style but it’s extremely drinkable, especially as a summer staple.

Golden color with a pillowy white head with good retention, but no real lacing. Smell gives me bready, clove, ginger, and perhaps a hint of lemon. I get some same characteristics in the taste as the smell, but with a little more spice and lemon to it. Strong carbonation, perhaps a bit too much, medium bodied. It’s still a pretty drinkable beer despite the excess carbonation, and a pretty solid effort at a belgian style. Additional note: I found this one to taste much better after swirling the glass to release excess carbonation. I would probably bump taste and mouthfeel up a bit after doing this, but I’m reviewing it how it came out of the bottle. Consider this a huge recommendation to let this warm and swirl your glass.
